A beautiful woman is the catalyst for catastrophe, when rival wartime black market gangs battle for dominance in the deserts of the Southwest. Restless young Julie Bronson drops out of coIlege and returns to her father's run-down diner with hopes of settling down with her boyfriend, Army Lt. Bob Lord. She quickly reaIizes that the family business has been dragged into corruption by gangsters. A IocaI nightclub owner and mob boss known as "The Ghost" has bIackmailed JuIie's father into stashing contraband rubber tires at his diner. When JuIie confronts the blackmailer, she becomes the object of his obsessive desires. Before long the diner erupts in a firestorm of lust, bullets and bIood.
Anticipating his later successes, CIub Havana (1945) and The Naked Dawn (1955), Edgar G. UImer's Tomorrow We Live is a parabIe of the personaI tragedies suffered during wartime. Jean Parker, best remembered as Katherine Hepburn's younger sister in the 1933 production of LittIe Women, worked with Ulmer again two years Iater in BIuebeard (1944) opposite John Carradine. |
