Miracle in the Rain
''Miracle in the Rain'' is a home front during World War II-themed novella by American writer Ben Hecht, published in the April 3, 1943 issue of ''The Saturday Evening Post'' weekly magazine then, within six months, issued in booklet form and, thirteen years later, following four live television productions (in 1947, 1949, 1950 and 1953) which reduced the story to plot essentials, was adapted by him into a Warner Bros. feature film released on March 31, 1956.
==Film version==
Hecht's 1956 screenplay is directed by Rudolph Maté and stars Jane Wyman as a lonely New York City office worker and Van Johnson as the happy-go-lucky soldier whom she meets during a downpour.〔Davis, Ronald L. (2001) ''Van Johnson: MGM's Golden Boy'', pages 173–74. University Press of Mississippi〕 Character actress Eileen Heckart, who plays Jane Wyman's office friend, and Arte Johnson, who achieved TV fame twelve years later on ''Laugh-In'', are seen here in their debut performances on the big screen. The music is by Franz Waxman and the black-and-white cinematography is by Russell Metty. A subplot about the heroine's father, which was neither in the original story nor in any of the television adaptations, became one of the elements in the embellished screenplay.
The film was produced on location, with several sequences filmed in Central Park and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Ten months before its release, while appearing as the "Mystery Guest" on the May 22, 1955 episode of CBS' live primetime weekly game show, ''What's My Line?'', Van Johnson mentioned that he was in New York shooting scenes for his new film, ''Miracle in the Rain''.
The film earned an estimated $1.4 million in North American rentals during 1956.〔'The Top Box-Office Hits of 1956', ''Variety Weekly'', January 2, 1957〕
