- Synopsis:
Gary Cooper (Desire), Carole Lombard (Twentieth Century), and Shirley Temple (Fort Apache) star in 'Now and Forever', a heart-warming tale which combines elements of screwball comedy, melodrama, and social commentary. Jerry (Cooper) and Toni (Lombard) are a pair of small-time crooks who are swindling their way around the world. When they meet Jerry's estranged daughter, Penny (Temple), they resolve to go straight to secure her future, but find that making an honest living isn't easy. Directed by the great Henry Hathaway (The Shepherd of the Hills), and with acting support from Sir Guy Standing (The Lives of a Bengal Lancer) and Charlotte Granville (Werewolf of London), 'Now and Forever' features impressive turns by its leads, and elevated the young Shirley Temple to superstardom. - Actors:
