It Rains on Our Love (Swedish: Det regnar på vår kärlek) is a 1946 Swedish drama film directed by Ingmar Bergman from the screenplay he co-wrote with Herbert Grevenius, based on the Norwegian play Bra Mennesker (Good People) by Oskar Braaten.[1] It Rains on Our Love is the first film directed by Bergman to include actor Gunnar Björnstrand in a credited role (he also had a credited role in Bergman's screenwriting debut Torment (1944). Björnstrand would go on to act in nearly twenty of Bergman's films.
Plot
[edit]David Lindell (Birger Malmsten) and Maggi (Barbro Kollberg) have not been lucky. David is a newly-released prisoner who now wants to start a new life. Maggi aspired to be an actress, but got pregnant during a chance encounter and has now fled to a provincial town to give herself a second chance. She meets David at a railway station. They represent everything the straitlaced society rejects. People take advantage of them, the couple is accused of theft, and thrown out of their apartment. That is when a guardian angel appears, in the unlikely form of the “Man with the Umbrella”.
