It Happened Tomorrow

"Engaging Fantasy, Flawlessly Made" - Halliwell's film guide.What would happen if someone could get tomorrow's newspaper headlines today? This charming period comedy tells the story of a newspaper reporter (Dick Powell) who wishes he could scoop his colleagues by knowing about events before they occur. Then when a mysterious old man gives him the news a day in advance, his life is turned upside down. Racing to prevent a headline predicting his own death, he gets mixed up with a beautiful fortune teller (Linda Darnell) and her overprotective uncle (Jack Oakie). IT HAPPENED TOMORROW was acclaimed French director René Clair's (BEAUTY OF THE DEVIL) follow up to his equally enchanting I MARRIED A WITCH, both made during a World War II exile in Hollywood. Clair's famous whimsical style is evident in this cautionary tale; be careful - what you wish for might come true.
