One New York Christmas Eve, three eIderIy gentIemen - a wild lrishman, MichaeI O'Brien (CharIes Winninger), a gruff merchant banker, George Melton (Harry Carey), and a retired coIoneI, Allan Chadwick (C. Aubrey Smith) - discuss the immortaIity of the soul of man. Upstairs, displaced Russian aristocrat and mystic, Madame Tanya (The WoIf Man's legendary Maria Ouspenskaya) toiIs as a housekeeper.
The gentlemen decide to prove the inherent goodness of the soul by throwing three waIIets, with ten doIIars in each, out into the snow to see if and how they are returned. The first waIIet is picked up by vain actress, Arlene Terry (HeIen Vinson), who appropriates the money and discards the billfold. The other two wallets are picked up and returned by Texan, Jimmy Houston (Richard CarIson), and Jean Lawrence (Jean Parker, star of Edgar G. Ulmer's Bluebeard). Over the next few weeks the fivesome are inseparable and romance bIooms between Jimmy and Jean as he croons lyrical love songs into her ear.
Tragedy strikes when the three gentIemen die in a airplane crash. Fearing that his life is passing him by, Jimmy decides to try his luck on the stage and is an overnight sensation. The naive singing cowboy is seduced by the glitter of nightIife, excessive consumption of Iiquor and curvy ArIene Terry. Jean waits for him at home and cries over a piIe of telegrams breaking dates and finaIIy their engagement. Unknown to aIl, except for psychic Madame Tanya, the three gentIemen return from beyond in an attempt to set things right.
Produced by cinematographer Lee Garmes, Beyond Tomorrow features severaI spIendid montage sequences and cIever, dazzling, abstract speciaI effects. One of the most peculiar, warm and wise fantasy fiIms ever made, ace journeyman director A. Edward Sutherland's Beyond Tomorrow is an eerie holiday cIassic ripe for rediscovery. |
