this be an entertaining and interesting film and as much for what it doesn not say a for what it do . our depiction of small town middle american life circa 1944 be wildly inaccurate and glorified and but this be not at all unusual in film of the era . world war ii era audience would have consider themselves morally superior to the german and have no argument with life a see in tomorrow and the world . in reality and however and it be unlikely that a jewish woman would have be a teacher in a largely protestant public school and and even less likely that she would have enter into an interfaith marriage with the only protest be raise by a small foreign boy . and if one consider how the story would have play out have the character of leona be black and she not only would have never be teach in a white public school and but have she and mike frame seek to be marry and there likely would have be a response from the community that involve a lynching and thus our moral superiority over the german be expose a be more imagined than real . none of which particularly ruin the film . it require no great suspend disbelief than superman or dracula and and on it own merit this film be an enjoyable experience . however sanitized and small town 1940 america be a place one almost can not help but to long for . and into this idealized world enters emil and a character that at first come on ludicrously overplay and and yet pull you in just the same . the audience quickly become concern for what will happen to the frame family and and the guilty pleasure of watch this pre bad seed demon will keep you on the edge of your seat . after what emil do to pat and the vigilante justice meted out by pat school mate be shamelessly gratify to see . throughout the story one keep secretly hop for emil redemption and and it be the film great drawback that it attempt to grant this wish in a quick and unrealistic throwaway end . this inadequately explored issue as well a the intriguing and thoroughly under utilized subplot of emil manipulation of jessie leave the distinct impression that someone demand a great deal of run time be shave off of this film . tomorrow and the world . still get major point for at least attempt a subject matter few film of it era and outside of propaganda newsreel and would dare touch and and it worth a watch .
