The Long Rain - Adaptations

Adaptations

In 1969 Jack Smight directed a film adaptation of The Illustrated Man in which "The Long Rain" was one of three Bradbury stories placed within the framing story. The film, starring Rod Steiger who was an acquaintance of Bradbury, was "both a critical and financial failure."

The story was adapted for television in 1992, appearing as an episode in the series The Ray Bradbury Theater, starring Marc Singer, with Bradbury providing the introduction.
