Tomorrow is Forever by Gwen Bristow. TOMORROW IS FOREVER (director: Irving Pichel; screenwriters: Lenore J. Coffee/from book Tomorrow Is Forever by Gwen Bristow; cinematographer: Joseph A. Valentine; editor: Ernest Nims; music: Max Steiner; cast: Orson Welles (John MacDonald/Erich Kessler), Claudette Colbert (Elizabeth (MacDonald) Hamilton), George Brent (Larry Hamilton), Lucile Watson (Aunt Jessie), Richard Long (Drew Hamilton ), Natalie Wood (Margaret Ludwig), Sonny Howe (Brian Hamilton), John Wengraf (Dr. Ludwig); Runtime: 105; MPAA Rating: NR; producer: David Lewis; RKO; 1946) “A weepie family drama tailor-made for Douglas Sirk that is ably but too rationally directed by Irving Pichel.” Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz. A weepie family drama tailor-made for Douglas Sirk that is ably but too rationally directed by Irving Pichel (“Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid”). Claudette Colbert insisted on Orson Welles for the co-starring part over the objections of the studio, who were afraid he would be difficult to work with and try to take over the directing chores. That never happened, and Welles was a model of decorum and gave a superb performance (saving the film from its own dull correctness)–proving Colbert was right on insisting upon him for the part. This was also 8-year-old Natalie Wood’s second film, where she’s required to put on an Austrian accent and does so quite well. Baltimore resident John Andrew MacDonald (Orson Welles) has been happily married to Elizabeth (Claudette Colbert) for a year, when he enlists as an officer in WW1. On the day the war ends his loving wife Elizabeth is devastated upon receiving a telegram that he’s been killed in action. She works as a library researcher for Hamilton Chemicals, and when she faints at the workplace her boss, Larry Hamilton (George Brent), the son of the president of the company, takes her to his spinster Aunt Jessie (Lucile Watson) until she recovers. It’s learned she’s pregnant and soon gives birth to a son named Drew. Larry marries her and they have a happy comfortable life together, never telling Drew who his real father is, as the story picks up some 20 years later in 1939 and Drew (Richard Long) is a 20-year-old college student and his brother Brian is 12. In the meantime, John Andrew MacDonald was never killed but ended up in an Austrian hospital with severe wounds that left him a cripple and a face that required plastic surgery. The Austrian doctor who performed the miraculous operation and wouldn’t let him die as he requested, was a humanitarian named Dr. Ludwig (John Wengraf). But the doctor couldn’t get MacDonald to change his mind and reveal his true identity. MacDonald gets a new identity as Erich Kessler, and lives in Austria as a scientist. But when the Nazis come to power they kill Dr. Ludwig and his wife. This leaves their 6-year-old daughter Margaret (Natalie Wood) as an orphan. Kessler adopts her and flees to London, and then comes to America to work in Hamilton Chemicals as a top research chemist. Kessler limps through his former wife’s mansion disguised by a new face with a beard and a Bavarian accent. Elizabeth nevertheless senses that’s her long thought of dead hubby, and some heavy melodramatics are played out among unsuspecting family members until Kessler delivers his swan song speech to Elizabeth “We must live for tomorrow because tomorrow is forever.” This liberates Elizabeth to break free from the chains of the past and allows Drew to join the European war effort with his frat brothers as a pilot for the Royal Canadian Air Force, something she wouldn’t allow before Kessler set her straight. It has women’s fingerprints all over its tender-hearted narrative-adapted by Lenore J. Coffee from the book by Gwen Bristow. It’s certainly well- made, well-acted, and sensible, all things considered, but should have been more illogical and insane–something Sirkian. Though entertaining, too much of it was dullish melodramatic fare mixed with wartime propaganda, and a carefully orchestrated stylized sense of conviction to the cause as dished out in dollops fit for a contemporary CEO of an arms plant. LSU Digital Commons. Gwen Bristow was born September 16, 1903. Her father was a minister and church leader and her mother was a homemaker and housemother for residents of Southern Baptist Hospital nurses' home. Both had impressive genealogies. Bristow, a reporter in New Orleans for The Times- Picayune from July 9, 1925, to November 28, 1930, and February 5, 1932, to September 21, 1934, wrote for many periodicals throughout her life. Her marriage to Bruce Manning took her to Hollywood, where she lived from the summer of 1934 until late spring 1980. Bruce Manning's career as a script writer, director, and producer provided a milieu Bristow enjoyed but never entered professionally except to have her novels, Tomorrow Is Forever and Jubilee Trail, made into movies. Having published one small volume of poetry, Bristow is best known for her historical novels: Deep Summer (1937), The Handsome Road (1938), and This Side of Glory (1940)--all published under one title, Gwen Bristow's Plantation Trilogy (1962); Jubilee Trail (1950), Celia Garth (1959), and Calico Palace (1970). Her fourth novel, Tomorrow Is Forever (1943)--a departure from her historical novels--is set in World War II and focuses on reasons for anti-war sentiment. Her eighth, Golden Dreams (1980) is a straightforward historical sketch of the Gold Rush. An inexhaustible researcher, Bristow was admired for accuracy of historical detail in her fiction, all on national best-seller lists for months. Although not a feminist in the contemporary sense but an advocate for women's rights and abilities in assertive, professional roles, she lectured and lived as a deeply concerned, aware citizen and independent thinker. Exclusive of documents she destroyed (as too revealing), her journals (1931-1978) and papers depict her marriage, work, hopes, frustrations, family, friends, attitudes, and reactions to local, national, and international affairs. As author and lecturer, she was enormously successful financially. Although some critics found her fiction "sentimental" and "romantic," more praised it for her "objective" and "realistic" depiction of historical milieu. She wrote of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Louisiana, the nineteenth-century western movement, eighteenth-century South Carolina, and the nineteenth-century Gold Rush. A talented writer, she made a significant contribution in the genre of romantic historical fiction. She died in New Orleans August 17, 1980. Tomorrow Is Forever : A Novel. For two decades, Elizabeth Herlong has been a devoted wife, supporting her husband as he built an empire in Hollywood’s budding motion picture industry. But far from the bright glamour of her current life, World War II rages in Europe, forcing Elizabeth to remember her past, awakening feelings and longings she thought she would never experience again. Most of all, she fears for her eldest son, who will turn eighteen in less than a year and have to enlist in the army. Then one night, Elizabeth’s husband introduces her to a German screenwriter he’s been working with. Erich Kessler is a disabled veteran of World War I attempting to make a new life for himself. Something in his face stirs Elizabeth’s heart—setting her on a journey of discovery about the meaning of true love and the things that war cannot destroy. Made into a film starring Claudette Colbert, Orson Welles, and Natalie Wood, this is a novel of a woman haunted by the shadows of war both past and present, from the New York Times –bestselling author of Jubilee Trail , Deep Summer , and other acclaimed novels.

Об авторе (2014) Gwen Bristow (1903–1980), the author of seven bestselling historical novels that bring to life momentous events in American history, such as the siege of Charleston during the American Revolution ( Celia Garth ) and the great California gold rush ( Calico Palace ), was born in South Carolina, where the Bristow family had settled in the seventeenth century. After graduating from Judson College in Alabama and attending the Columbia School of Journalism, Bristow worked as a reporter for New Orleans’ Times-Picayune from 1925 to 1934. Through her husband, screenwriter Bruce Manning, she developed an interest in longer forms of writing—novels and screenplays. After Bristow moved to Hollywood, her literary career took off with the publication of Deep Summer , the first novel in a trilogy of Louisiana-set historical novels, which also includes The Handsome Road and This Side of Glory . Bristow continued to write about the American South and explored the settling of the American West in her bestselling novels Jubilee Trail , which was made into a film in 1954, and in her only work of nonfiction, Golden Dreams . Her novel Tomorrow Is Forever also became a film, starring Claudette Colbert, Orson Welles, and Natalie Wood, in 1946.
