Now and Forever
Directed by Henry Hathaway
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A domestic drama centered on a con man's struggle between his wandering nature and the pull of family responsibility, anchored by the redemptive promise of fatherhood.
Freewheeling wanderer Jerry Day and his beautiful wife Toni are at odds over their lifestyle. Jerry can't accept responsibility, but Toni yearns for a family and a settled life. Then the Days 'rediscover' Jerry's young daughter Pennie, who has been living with his rich deceased wife's family. Pennie appears to be just what Jerry needs to mend his swindling ways and lead a straight life. Then a corruptible influence enters his life.
