Less-than-full reviews so I can get this out of my system, and you won't have to suffer as long.

Tomorrow is Forever (1946)
Tomorrow is Forever is a postwar melodrama Martin Guerre-with-a-twist that was apparently designed to make mothers feel better about having let their sons/husbands go off to war. The story concerns Claudette Colbert and Orson

Okay, finally getting through people's posts. Yeesh.

I really want to see Tomorrow, I just haven't gotten my paws on it, thanks for the low down.

Orson is SO out of his time and never more then as Cesare. He was so big and amazing in that small part, (like The Third Man) and the only good thing about the whole film (Unlike The Third Man). But it was worth it.

He also looks surprisingly fit in tights. Um yea, I have to agree, it was well distracting. *tugs at collar*

Hope you are well!

Aw, thanks for backtracking and reading! I hope the spoilers weren't too bad for Tomorrow; frankly most of it was on the back of the video and I figured that people probably weren't going to see it anyway.

Indeed. I just love how much fun he seems to be having in spite of the film he's in. "Hmm. This scenery needs more chewing!"

I also enjoy looking at Everett Sloane, though his particular vocal cadences read poorly for me in historical drama. Still, he's so very odd looking I find him captivating in his own way.

As to the tights, there was one scene in the garden where Orson stands in profile with his hand sort of on his butt as if posing and it's... odd.

I'm fine. You?

I like him so much in general (except in Lady from Shanghai, but all the "bad guys" in that were played so creepy) such a tragedy he died young. :(

As for me, I'm crappy. I'm happy about the new job, but it's freezing and our bus system sucks. Minimum wage is not worse catching my death of cold for.
