About Rain or Shine (1930)
Rain or Shine is a 1930 American pre-Code film directed by Frank Capra and starring Joe Cook, Louise Fazenda and Joan Peers. In the on-screen credits, Fazenda and Peers are shown side by side, with Fazenda first.
The opening credits roll over a peppy instrumental rendition of “Singing in the Rain.” The “Greater John T. Rainey Shows” traveling circus was successful when Mary Rainey inherited it from her father, but by the end of the first season they are struggling. Drenching rains make things worse. Dalton the ringmaster and Foltz the lion tamer are secretly conspiring to take over the circus in the next town, Shrewsberry. Since her father's death, Mary has relied on the circus' fast-talking con-artist manager, Smiley. She does not realize that he is in love with her.
