VHS Movie Reviews of Tomorrow Is Forever [VHS]
Movie Review: Tomorrow Lasts Forever
Summary: 3 Stars
In its review of TOMORROW IS FOREVER (1946), Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever states "This slow-moving melodrama wastes a good cast."
I thought it was better than that, but not by much.
I should state that I like to watch anything that has Orson Welles in it. For example, even though THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI (1947) is hampered by his attempt at a brogue, it too is also rewatchable.
Here Welles plays a husband who returns from WWI, supposedly disfigured beyond recognition; and really all that has changed is he limps, has an injured hand, and has grown a beard. His wife, played by Claudette Colbert, is completely fooled; but the viewer may find this stretches their suspension of disbelief to its limits.
And that would be all right in itself, but the plot centers on Welles' ability to make Colbert believe he is not her husband; and he tries to convince her that her instinct is wrong; and that her suspicion is nothing more than wishful thinking about the past.
Regarding the film's construction, I thought it well put together, with a highlight being Max Steiner's music. If it had any weakness, Colbert's insistence on having herself shot on the same side of her face, (and at the same angle) becomes a little repetitive; because there are many close-ups in this picture. This lack of cinematographic variety may make all but the most ardent Colbert fan wonder.
Still, if you appreciate Orson Welles, Claudette Colbert, or 1940s melodrama, it is not to be missed. If you have a taste for them all, this may likely become a favorite film.
Movie Review: beautiful love story
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a beautiful love story,and a classic,set during WW1 & 11.. a MUST SEE & WORTH KEEPING FOR ADDITIONAL VIEWING!!!Movie Review: Emotional Sentimentality
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an outstanding sentimentalist film. It is very touching and heartbreaking to watch, but I still do watch it. Orson Welles gives a mesmerizing performance as John MacDonald, a man who is badly wounded and transfigured by his experiences in the First World War. Claudette Colbert, as his wife, gives a brilliant performance combining intellect and heartbreaking emotion. Welles returns from the war, Claudette Colbert thinking him lost forever, as a traumatized and enigmatically distant European. The plot emotionally thickens, as I don't wish to give any more details away. You must see this film to truly appreciate it. It also features Richard Long, Natalie Wood, George Brent and Lucile Watson. It was directed by Irving Pichel, with cinematography is by Joseph Valentine with another fine score by the stalwart Max Steiner.Movie Review: not on DVD..???!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this on TCM, and just freaked out on the sheer emotion of it. If you liked "Kane", you'll love this. The scene when Orson is about to break and doesn't, clinches it for me. Why isn't this on DVD...? A remaster widescreen would do for me!Movie Review: Great movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good movie for a couple to watch together. Orson Welles is great! The ending was not what I expected.
