It Began in the Rain (Finnish: Se alkoi sateessa) is a 1953 Finnish comedy thriller film directed by Thure Bahne and Eddie Stenberg and starring Eila Peitsalo, Tauno Palo and Kaarlo Halttunen.

Eddie Stenberg was originally hired to direct the film, but in the middle of production the director was changed to Thure Bahne.

Särkkä later stated in his own words, that the film turned out to be "damn bad".

In a storm, a woman named Vuokko hits the smugglers' warehouse, where she meets the man she thinks is their boss.

Through adventures, they finally end up at the altar, even though Vuokko has not known the man's true identity.
