  • Felix Feist's Tomorrow is Another Dayis a strange film noir paradoxically featuring both zero sympathetic characters and a happy ending. The short version: Bill Clark (Steve Cochran) is a recently paroled convict who falls in love with dime-a-dance girl Cay Higgins (Ruth Roman). Bill is a little too aggressive and Cay is a little too manipulative, but the two bond over fleeing from the authorities after Cay shoots an abusive cop named Conover (Hugh Sanders). Incidentally, Cay blames Bill for the killing, and Bill goes along with it since the circumstances remind him of that time he killed his dad. Yes, these are your protagonists!
  • In the film's best and most suspenseful scene, Bill and Cay sneak atop a car-hauler truck while on the lam, eventually finding themselves picking lettuce alongside Henry and Stella Dawson (Ray Teal and Lurene Tuttle). The Dawsons and their son Johnny (Robert Hyatt) seem nice enough, but it doesn't take long for them to ponder turning in Bill and Cay for the reward money once Johnny spots Bill's picture in a magazine. Fate intervenes in a few odd ways (coma-inducing car accident! deathbed confession!!) before sending Cay and Bill off to enjoy a happy marriage. Once Bill recovers from his Cay-inflicted gunshot wound, that is. Aside from the film's wide variety of scenery and the aforementioned car-hauler escapade, there's not much else to recommend this one.
