In 'The Killers', the first 13 minutes or so that was written by Ernest Hemingway were terrific. But then it falls into a typical, contrived film noir. So it goes with 'Tomorrow is Another Day'. It's a decent enough film-noir when Ruth Roman is a hard, street-wise NYC blonde. But when she takes it on the lam with lonely ex-con Steve Cochran and they stop at a motel where she dyes her hair brunette, her personality suddenly (and unbelievably) softens 180 degrees and the whole movie switches gears (jumps the shark) and becomes some kind of wannabe 'Grapes of Wrath'. It really sucks too because, when Roman is a blonde, it's got a nice, gritty noir feel. But the smarmy later stuff just flat out ruins the movie. Another quite noticable change is Roman seems to lose her NYC accent after becoming a brunette, as well.
My recommendation? Watch it until Ruth Roman's hair color and speech changes, then forget it.
