A hard rain's gonna fall
by dbdumonteil2007-02-11

""Storm Warning " is a very interesting movie.Few movies dealt with the KKK at the time and ,of course,we are far from "Birth Of A Nation"( where they were the good guys(!!!) who saved the Cameron family attacked by the villains (the black men!)). "Storm Warning" gives a strong depiction of that sinister secret society."Without your hood,you are cowards!" one character says .Quite rightly so.Without their hoods,when they beat the retreat ,they are the guys -next -door ;they even bring their children to the meeting. The action is tight ,everything happen..."

💡 Did You Know?

This was one of only a handful of straight-up dramas in which Doris Day ever appeared, and was her first (and only) film for Warner Brothers in which she did not sing a note. She accepted this role partly for the opportunity to work with one of her childhood idols, Ginger Rogers.
