It Happened Tomorrow - DVD

Novice reporter Larry Stevens (Dick Powell) is able to get a jump on his competitors when a mysterious colleague gives him copies of the next days' newspapers. But is the future carved in stone? Larry had better hope not, since one of the headlines warns of his imminent death. Set in 1890s New York, director René Clair's charming, comical fantasy co-stars Linda Darnell, Jack Oakie, and Edgar Kennedy. 85 min. Standard; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English; theatrical trailer.

In postwar Rome, Delia Santucci (Paola Cortellesi, who directed and co-scripted) had a 24-hour day caring for home and kids, as well as whatever outside piecework she could find-the proceeds of which she turned over to abusive husband Ivano (Valerio Mastandrea). At her lowest ebb, she found her optimism rekindled due to receipt of a mysterious letter. Acclaimed, neorealism-tinged dramedy also stars Romana Maggiora Vergano, Giorgio Colangeli. 118 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack Italian; Subtitles English; theatrical trailers. In Italian with English subtitles.

Having come to postwar Berlin to visit her army officer brother, British teacher Susanne Mallison (Claire Bloom) couldn't help but be romantically intrigued by her new sister-in-law's local acquaintance, attorney Ivo Kern (James Mason). She shrugged off his reticence to discuss his past-or his present dealings-but they'd be abundantly clear once she was grabbed by his accomplices in an East German kidnap ring. Carol Reed's moody thriller also stars Hildegard Knef, Geoffrey Toone, Karl John.
