★ 6.5TMDB 1h 40min Director: Michael Pressman

A despairing young widow who abandons her baby at pond-side among bulrushes and a man who's fighting to reclaim his own son are drawn together. A baby plops out of a rainy, stormy sky into the arms of the town's beloved, vaguely addled spinster. Miracles suddenly reverse the fortunes of the town as drought and unemployment disappear, only to be replaced by boosterism and greed.
