Movie Info

Reporter Larry Stevens (Dick Powell) is always on the hunt for the latest scoop, but he never seems to be quick enough. Wishing he could know future stories, Stevens comes across an old man (John Philliber) who just happens to give him a newspaper with tomorrow's news. Now that Stevens' wish is granted, he takes full advantage of it -- even placing a few bets at the racetrack -- and winds up with a fortuneteller (Linda Darnell). Yet, when the newspaper predicts his death, his fortune changes.

Audience Reviews for It Happened Tomorrow

  • Sep 05, 2010
    This movie is sort of sci-fi , sort of comedy, and sort of a thriller, and mixes these genres well. I enjoyed this movie, and I recommend it.

    Cute premise, not perfectly executed but pleasantly charming fantasy. Linda Darnell is almost unbelievably beautiful.
