In 1945, Rains was featured in the most expensive British film that had been made up to that time, playing opposite Vivien Leigh in [[George Bernard Shaw]]’s ''Caesar and Cleopatra'' under the supervision of Shaw himself; the film was, alas! a notorious bomb. The next year, a better form of ''[[Notorious]]'' under the direction of [[Alfred Hitchcock]] brought Rains his fourth and last [[Academy Award|Oscar]] nomination for the difficult part of a [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|sympathetic]] post-war [[Those Wacky Nazis|Nazi]] conspirator.
 
In 1957 Rains [[WTH?What the Hell, Casting Agency?|sang and danced]] to the [[Public Domain Soundtrack|music of Edvard Grieg (!)]] in a [[So Bad It's Good|So Bad, It's Good]] TV musical adaptation of Robert Browning’s poem, ''The Pied Piper of Hamelin''. He made several appearances on television anthology series in that and the following decade, notably on ''[[Alfred Hitchcock Presents]]''. Rains’s last film appearance was as King Herod in George Stevens’ 1965 [[The Bible|Biblical]] epic, ''[[The Greatest Story Ever Told]]''.
