Descargar It Happened Tomorrow (1944)

In the late 19th century, Larry Stevens is hoping to get out of writing obituaries for "The Evening News" newspaper, and be what he considers a real reporter. He and his colleagues get into a philosophical discussion of what constitutes news, the newspaper's elderly archivist Pop Benson, who posits that news is what happens, the issue of time only an illusion, as what happens tomorrow will be yesterday's news the day after. Larry counters that if someone knows what will happen tomorrow, they can proverbially name their own price. In joking to Pop about giving him a copy of tomorrow's newspaper now, Larry is shocked that Pop does come through with this request. While Larry initially believes his life professionally and personally is set with what Pop has provided him, he will ultimately discover that knowledge is a powerful tool, not always a good one, and that that knowledge is only part of the story of what happens. The complication in his life is made all the more difficult as he tries to court Sylvia Smith, the assistant in Cigolini's fortune telling stage act, Cigolini really her Uncle Oscar.—Huggo
