When Tomorrow Comes (1939) re-teamed
Boyer with Irene Dunne, following the great success of Love Affair. Ms.
Dunne plays a waitress and Boyer a famous concert pianist, and the story follows
a Love Affair "blueprint", with the two falling in love but not destined
to be together. It seems Boyer's musician has a wife who is not always mentally
stable (although in moments of clarity she does state that she will not give up
her husband).
When Tomorrow Comes was well-received,
but did not compare favorably with its predecessor, admittedly a very hard act
to follow. It is, however, a stylish love story for all its cliches, and
well worth seeing for the excellent performances of the two stars.
