Movie #778 ........................"There's Always Tomorrow"

Movie #778 "There's Always Tomorrow" is a Fred MacMurray/Barbara Stanwyck film that I hadn't seen, so when I saw it was going to be on the list of Fred MacMurray films on his day on TCM, I made sure to check it out. I have always cherished this duo's relationship on screen in "Double Indemnity" and "Remember the Night" so I wanted to see another one ----this did not disappoint, except that it was more on the kids than on the two "lovebirds" --- they aren't really "lovebirds" but they think about it, and for that, the kids involved (Fred's kids) are worried about what that will do to their loving mom ---- Joan Bennett. It's kind of a sad story about a man who thinks his kids and wife just take him for granted, and a rekindling of a long ago relationship isn't helping him to feel any better about his marriage. It is amazing to me that these two very good actors can play so many different characters --- and well. If you get a chance, you might find this film entertaining, esp. if you've ever longed to change events in your life. THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW 1956 84 minutes I would rate it 3.5 stars out of 5 When a toy manufacturer feels ignored and unappreciated by by his wife and children, he begins to rekindle a past love when a former employee comes back into his life. Director: Douglas Sirk Writers: Bernard C. Schoenfeld (screenplay), Ursula Parrott (story) Stars: Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray, Joan Bennett
