It Rains on Our Love (Swedish: Det regnar på vår kärlek) is a 1946 Swedish drama film directed by Ingmar Bergman from a 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

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”.
