New Year's Eve later this week provides the inspiration for this week's feature. Minutes before January 1, 1947, a beautiful actress(Joan Leslie) shoots and kills her husband(Louis Hawyard). She then wishes she could re-live 1946 all over again and gets her wish. But with this second chance, can she change the events which ended in the prior tragedy or not? A film that used to be a staple of New Year's Eve television and has been called both a precursor to "The Twilight Zone" and a film-noir "It's A Wonderful Life."

It does not look (from the picture) like something the Reformers would sanction. “Modest apparel?”

Films about women encountering the spirits of spouses surrogate or otherwise was a common theme during a time when so many men were either at war or dead from war. The Ghost and Mrs Muir was another one.

I am coming to the realization that they had movies prior to 1970.
Quite a few of them in fact.
I need to start taking the time to watch some of them.

I always thought Joan Leslie should have been a bigger star. Always liked her.
