Tomorrow (1972) is a quiet, deeply human drama adapted from a short story by William Faulkner and written for the screen by Horton Foote, the celebrated author of To Kill a Mockingbird. This presentation includes original commentary and contextual narration created by our team to help viewers better understand the film’s historical and cultural themes.
Robert Duvall delivers a powerful portrayal of Jackson Fentry, a solitary Mississippi farmer whose unexpected encounter with an abandoned, pregnant woman disrupts the isolation of his life. Their growing bond—built on dignity, compassion, and sacrifice—reveals a rural world where love is expressed through action rather than words.
Directed by Joseph Anthony, Tomorrow examines loneliness, community, moral duty, and the emotional resilience of ordinary people. Its understated style shows how the best dramas rely not on spectacle, but on steady, heartfelt performance. Many critics consider this film one of Duvall’s most emotionally vulnerable and overlooked works.
