Douglas Sirk takes the gloves off in this searing view of family life of 50's America. Unlike his famous melodramas, There's Always Tomorrow is completely devoid of any beguiling glitz and glamour to sweeten the pill. For its time it’s a bold and unusual work focusing on the husband as the deeply unhappy victim of what outwardly appears to be an ideal family. Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray share a wonderful chemistry; very different from their famous partnership in Double Indemnity. Stanwyck, as always, is riveting and MacMurray in his understated way turns in a particularly moving and powerful performance. Like the best of Sirk's work the film is superbly crafted with the lighting and camera work as meticulous as ever. Perhaps owing to its lack of glamour, There's Always Tomorrow has been grossly neglected, being overshadowed by the great melodramas that would follow. For Sirk admirers this is of course compulsory viewing, but it’s a film well worth taking a close look at for all. In the bonus segment, director Alison Anders speaks of her love for Sirk calling There's Always Tomorrow a perfect movie.
轉的16mm效果也太差了
看的第一部Sirk的黑白片 不是很喜欢Stanwyck 但容华已逝的她在此片中表现非常到位 虽是再简单不过的中年危机伦理题材 但处理手法很大家风范 前段缠绵悱恻 收尾克制干净
四星半，前2/3略微肥皂，后1/3则黯然泪下。男人在婚后发现自己苦心经营的家是座坟墓，那么在20年前他就应该做好选择。20年后的女人在对待爱时变得成熟了，而男人却变得幼稚了。离开他才是爱他，他们没有明天只有昨天。结尾的大雨同样是象征洗清道德上的负罪。
1.这次被冷落的不是那个整日忙碌家务的中年妇女，而是白天忙于工作，夜晚却往往孤独一人的中年男人，妻子把时间都留给了家务和孩子，孩子有自己的娱乐，只有丈夫回家后，无所事事，这样的开头着实少见；2.在一个下雨的夜晚，一个曾经爱着自己的年轻女职员突然上门拜访...两人重叙旧情，以为接下去会顺理成章开始一段婚外情，没想到剧情依旧不按常规，男主并没有非分之想，反而将女职员介绍给自己的家庭；3.而结局的处理，...
虽然有点儿短，但是Sirk标志性的细腻真实的心理描绘和精彩的调度把这个故事拍得丰满好看，剧作上人物关系的照应也很下功夫。结尾感觉有不同的解读方式。芭芭拉和麦克默瑞的再次合作，两人表现都非常出色。
