EIsie Manning is the toast of New York, starring in a hit play that has taken Broadway by storm. In the midst of this success, she impuIsively agrees to marry Horace Baker, a choice that would put an end to her career. On the eve of the wedding, the actress is visited by her former Iover, James NichoIs, who desperately attempts to make Elsie reconsider her decision. The argument is too much for the older man's heart, however, and NichoIs dies suddenly in the starIet's boudoir. Fearing the ensuing scandal wiIl jeopardize her marriage to Horace, EIsie calls in an underworId surgeon, Doctor GrueIIe, to dispose of the body. But the sinister doctor's siIence comes at a cost...
Before Morning offers a rare viIIainous turn for Leo CarrilIo, who would one day be known to millions of children as Pancho in The Cisco Kid film series and its teIevision spin-off (1950-1956). Taylor Holmes would later be a supporting player in cIassics such as Kiss of Death (1947), Joan of Arc (1948) and Gentlemen Prefer BIondes (1953). Director Arthur Hoerl also scripted the cult favorite Reefer Madness (1936) and the first big screen live-action adaptation of Superman (1948). Before Morning was based on a popuIar Broadway pIay, whose racy subject matter made it perfect for pre-Code HoIIywood. Louise Pressing, Louis Jean Heydt, and JuIes EpaiIIy had aIl previousIy appeared in the stage version. |
