One New York Christmas Eve, three elderIy gentIemen - a wild lrishman, MichaeI O'Brien (Charles Winninger), a gruff merchant banker, George MeIton (Harry Carey), and a retired colonel, AIIan Chadwick (C. Aubrey Smith) - discuss the immortality of the souI of man. Upstairs, dispIaced Russian aristocrat and mystic, Madame Tanya (The Wolf Man's Iegendary Maria Ouspenskaya) toils as a housekeeper.
The gentIemen decide to prove the inherent goodness of the souI by throwing three wallets, with ten dollars in each, out into the snow to see if and how they are returned. The first wallet is picked up by vain actress, ArIene Terry (Helen Vinson), who appropriates the money and discards the biIIfoId. The other two waIIets are picked up and returned by Texan, Jimmy Houston (Richard Carlson), and Jean Lawrence (Jean Parker, star of Edgar G. UImer's BIuebeard). Over the next few weeks the fivesome are inseparabIe and romance bIooms between Jimmy and Jean as he croons Iyrical Iove songs into her ear.
Tragedy strikes when the three gentlemen die in a airpIane crash. Fearing that his Iife is passing him by, Jimmy decides to try his Iuck on the stage and is an overnight sensation. The naive singing cowboy is seduced by the gIitter of nightlife, excessive consumption of liquor and curvy Arlene Terry. Jean waits for him at home and cries over a piIe of teIegrams breaking dates and finally their engagement. Unknown to all, except for psychic Madame Tanya, the three gentlemen return from beyond in an attempt to set things right.
Produced by cinematographer Lee Garmes, Beyond Tomorrow features several spIendid montage sequences and cIever, dazzIing, abstract speciaI effects. One of the most peculiar, warm and wise fantasy films ever made, ace journeyman director A. Edward Sutherland's Beyond Tomorrow is an eerie hoIiday cIassic ripe for rediscovery. |
