There's Always Tomorrow

Toy manufacturer Clifford Groves lives a routine life in Pasadena. His three adolescent children, son Vinnie and daughters Ellen and Frankie, and his wife Marion pay him little attention. One night while Cliff is alone at home, Norma Miller, one of his first employees whom he has not seen for 20 years, makes a surprise visit. They go to the theater, using tickets that Cliff had bought for Marion and himself. Leaving at intermission, they retreat to Cliff's office, where they reminisce. Norma reveals that she is a divorced dress designer and is in town to speak at a conference in nearby Palm Valley. After making plans to see each other before Norma returns to New York, they separate.
