The Sunday Film: The Rainmaker

BBC One
on BBC One London

Starring Burt Lancaster Katharine Hepburn with Wendell Corey, Lloyd Bridges

There is a ready audience for Starbuck, a confidence trickster and self-styled rainmaker, when he arrives in drought-stricken Kansas in 1913. Farmer Curry decides to gamble on Starbuck's powers, but soon the 'magic' begins to work in other ways - notably on the family's apparently plain and unmarriageable daughter Lizzie.
