It Happened Tomorrow
Funniest thing on the screen today
Directed by René Clair
Produced by Arnold Pressburger Films
A lighthearted romantic comedy built on a whimsical time-travel premise, where a newspaperman's access to tomorrow's headlines creates comedic chaos and romantic entanglement.
A young turn-of-the-century newspaper man finds he can get hold of the next day's paper. This brings more problems than fortune, especially as his new girlfriend is part of a phony clairvoyant act.
