It Rained All Night the Day I Left

About This Movie

So, 'It Rained All Night the Day I Left' is this quirky comedy from 1980 that really dives into the world of a tough-as-nails ranch owner in Africa. She's got this vendetta after her husband's murder, and it gets pretty wild when she decides to cut off water to the locals. The dynamic between her and the charming gunrunners she hires is quite entertaining—there’s a nice tension there. You can feel the atmosphere shift as they unwind the mystery behind her shady competitor. The pacing has these curious lulls that somehow work, and the performances have a rawness that adds to the charm. Not your typical comedy, I’d say, but definitely distinctive in its narrative approach.
