Fred MacMurray is a toy company executive whose wife (Joan Bennett) and kids (Gigi Perreau, William Reynolds and Judy Nugent) take him for granted. Barbara Stanwyck is Fred's former girlfriend, whose own business activities result in a surprise reunion. MacMurray falls back in love with Stanwyck and prepares to leave his family. MacMurray's children go to Stanwyck and politely ask her to back off. She does so, and MacMurray's wife Bennett, who's been out of town during all this, is none the wiser. In the original There's Always Tomorrow, the male and female leads (Frank Morgan and Binnie Barnes) were farther apart age-wise, making their brief encounter all the more poignant. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bosley Crowther, New York Times
For Pete's sake, have mercy on Dad -- especially if you are contemplating taking him to see this film.

Sean Axmaker, Seanax.com
It's as suffocating a portrait of suburban middle class life as the you'll find in fifties cinema and Stanwyck is the flame that casts everything else into shadow.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Its title seems appropriate for a soap opera.
