There's Always Tomorrow

If you're watching There's Always Tomorrow, it's probably because you liked A Lost Lady and want to see another romantic drama starring an against-type Frank Morgan. As time wore on, Frank didn't get as many opportunities to play a leading man, so you'll want to catch him when you can. This one is extremely sad, though, so be prepared.

Frank stars as an unhappily married man with four grown children. He and his wife, Lois Wilson, have grown apart through the years. His oldest son Robert Taylor is married, and his other three kids, Louise Latimer, Maurice Murphy, and Dick Winslow, are always out and about. In short, no one pays attention to dead ol' Dad anymore, and he feels bored, ignored, and unloved. Out of the blue, a former sweetheart from his youth, Binnie Barnes, bumps into him. They renew their friendship, and as Frank starts to enjoy another person's interest and attention, their feelings grow to more.

Once again, this movie is quite sad. I can appreciate the story and the acting, but I won't want to watch it again. This is a generational drama, with the kids taking a different point of view than the parents, so depending on your stage in life, you might like this movie better than I did. Watch at your own risk, and take along a box of Kleenex.
