Following the runaway success of Love Affair, Irene Dunne (The Awful Truth) and Charles Boyer (A Woman’s Vengeance) were reunited for When Tomorrow Comes, a heartbreaking romantic melodrama.
Despite differences of class and politics, concert pianist Philip (Boyer) falls in love with waitress Helen (Dunne), and they embark on a torrid romance. However, Helen soon finds that Philip is hiding something from her...
Directed by John M Stahl (Leave Her to Heaven) and based on a story by James M Cain (The Postman Always Rings Twice), When Tomorrow Comes was later remade by Douglas Sirk as Interlude, and stands as a classic of the so-called ‘Women's Picture’ genre.
