The Rain People
Drama • R • Directed by: Francis Ford Coppola • 102 minutes
Stifled by her marriage, a pregnant young woman (Shirley Knight) journeys across the United States. In her travels she bonds deeply with a brain-damaged former football player (James Caan)-who now has the mental capacity and the innocence of a child--and explores offbeat, sometimes dangerous intimate encounters in this early work by director Francis Ford Coppola and also starring Robert Duvall.
