About Forever and a Day
In World War II, American Gates Trimble Pomfret is in London during the Blitz to sell the ancestral family house. The current tenant, Leslie Trimble, tries to dissuade him from selling by telling him the 140-year history of the place and the connections between the Trimble and Pomfret families.
Directed by Cedric Hardwicke, Herbert Wilcox, Robert Stevenson, Edmund Goulding, Victor Saville, Frank Lloyd, René Clair, Forever and a Day leans on a strong ensemble — Kent Smith, Reginald Gardiner, Victor McLaglen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1943.
