"Tomorrow At Seven" begins with a cracking idea: a killer so arrogant and sure of himself, he warns his intended victims beforehand via his calling card, an ace of spades. The script on the whole is quite unpredictable, with even the hero a suspect until the very end, and even if you guess who the "Black Ace" is, you probably won't guess his weapon. But the movie is actually more of a comedy than a mystery, since two inept policemen who at first appear to be used only as comic relief take center stage for large sections of the film. Their comedy is only occasionally amusing, but they do have some very funny lines ("What is the condition of the corpse?" - "Dead!"). The film ends with a double fight which looks pretty sloppy today, but must have impressed audiences at the time, especially because it goes on for quite a bit. **1/2 out of 4.
