Plot summary
Ruth Wood works as a secretary at the Excelsior Shoe Manufacturing Company in New York City and lives with her mother, Agnes, whose husband Harry walked out on the family ten years before. Arthur Hugenon, a G.I. stationed nearby, strikes up a conversation with Ruth one evening and invites her to dinner. She declines because her mother is expecting her, so he buys food at a delicatessen and walks her home, where Agnes receives him without enthusiasm. At the piano Arthur notices an unfinished melody of Harry's and asks permission for himself and his army buddy Dixie to write lyrics for it. That weekend he goes out with Ruth and her co-worker Grace Ullman, and on the way past an auction Ruth bids on an old Roman coin, which she gives Arthur for luck.

- Before Miracle in the Rain opened, Warner Bros. ran a contest called "A Miracle Can Happen to You": 32 female secretaries from each city competed for a three-day, all-expenses-paid trip, and on April 2, 1956, a U.S. soldier drew 25 winners from a drum.
