Storyline:Lancaster had earlier played a similar manipulative huckster in the filmThe Rainmaker (1956).The film was very popular and a box-office hit - on a budget of $3 million, it grossed $11.3 million dollars.It was shot in the uncharacteristic and unfashionable aspect ratio of 1.33, in protest to the current prevailing trend for CinemaScope features.The film was nominated for five Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Score (Andre Previn)) and won three: Best Actor for Burt Lancaster (his sole Oscar win of four Best Actor nominations), Best Adapted Screenplay (Richard Brooks), and Best Supporting Actress (Shirley Jones with her sole Oscar nomination, known for her squeaky-clean role in TV""sThe Partridge Family)." BackgroundRose-Marie(1936) is the film with the best-remembered pairing of "America""s Singing Sweethearts.The "official theory" was that Miss Alquist was murdered during an apparently unsuccessful attempt to steal the jewels - valuables that were "much too famous for him [the murderer] to be able to sell them anywhere.He stops Nat from wiping away the enclosing rings - a symbol of the depth of his drunkenness:Don""t wipe it away, Nat.
