René Clair stayed at Hollywood during the WW 2, made this dramatic comedy offering to the audience a suppose future through of an older archivist Pop Benson (John Philliber) who works on newspaper where an ambitious journalist Larry Stevens (Dick Powell) works either, the wise and friendly Pop exposes to Larry the relevance of the files which he takes care, even treating the past, the future shouldn't allowed to anyone, Larry disagree, they leave the place but at sidewalk Pop gives to Larry the upcoming newspaper edition where an assault will takes place, it really happens and he already notified the newspaper over this event, but the police wants to know how he got this fist hand information, actually one day before he meets a beauty girl at a burlesque theater Sylvia Smith (Linda Darnell) working with a fake mind reader, Larry falling in love at first sight for her, among all troubles coming the old Pop always appears to him, even with next edition, until the third and last one he gives one predicting Larry's death, this little gem was almost forgotten by mostly of us, René Clair submits a surrealism and hilarious presentation, exposing on strong letters that the future shall be hidden for everyone, highly recommended fantasy!!
