The Illustrated Man (1969) Part 07

Rod Steiger plays the tattoo-covered title role in this fascinating vision of doom and danger based on the classic short story collection by futurist Ray Bradbury. Robert Drivas portrays a good-natured drifter who can't tear his eyes from Steiger's freakish illustrations. And Claire Bloom is the mysterious seductress/witch from the future who created the "art" that curses its bearer - and comes to life in a nightmarish trio of tales. Two spoiled children turn playtime into slay time (from The Veldt). Shipwrecked astronauts wander across a planet cursed by The Long Rain. And loving parents choose their children's fate when the end nears (from The Last Night of the World). Every one of The Illustrated Man's pictures tells a story.

This just a normal day in GraysHarbor, why are they so distraught? They should gather their resources and have Rain Fair Festival....helps cure those pesky drabs.

@puffyhead1 I believe it's actually "The Hard Rain" in the Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury.

The story is All Summer In A Day by Ray Bradbury

[ledamate]

i remember reading a story as a kid about children inside a Sundome. It rained on their planet for years and the sun only came out 1/2 hour every 500 years (guess).

Just when the sun was about to come out a little girl was injured and not allowed to go out and play in the sun with the other children. Does anyone know this story?

@WestVirginiaRebel : hate doing this but i feel the need to correct it, "unified states of earth" is what the ship says
