A Walk in the Spring Rain (1970)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by Guy Green
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

A New York law professor and his wife take a year off so he can write a book in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. They rent a house from a free-spirited man who sets his eyes on the wife. She resists at first, but gradually gives in as she becomes disillusioned by her selfish husband. The biggest obstacle to enjoying this film may be accepting Anthony Quinn with a strong southern drawl sipping moonshine and frog hunting at night. Ingrid Bergman's transformation from big city wife to goat-raising country girl is equally improbable. Still, it works, mainly because of the charisma of its stars.
