There’s Always Tomorrow (PG)

Clifford Groves leads an unremarkable life as a toy manufacturer in Pasadena, California. Feeling ignored and unappreciated by his wife and children, Groves begins to rekindle an old relationship when a former employee unexpectedly walks back into his life.

Bringing together stars Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray and Joan Bennett, and shot in striking black and white by Russell Metty, There’s Always Tomorrow confirms that no one could use the form of the Hollywood melodrama to dissect American family values like Douglas Sirk.

It might be lesser known than All that Heaven Allows or Imitation of Life - but, ultimately, There’s Always Tomorrow might be just as rewarding. 

This film will screen with trailers, but no adverts.
