Hold Back Tomorrow
Hold Back Tomorrow is a 1955 American film noir drama film directed by Hugo Haas and starring Cleo Moore and John Agar

Plot
A death row inmate has one final request before his imminent hanging: he wants to spend the night with a woman. The police bring him a suicidal prostitute. After a period of hostile interactions, the woman breaks down his anger and, after a night of lovemaking, the two are married by the prison chaplain. Earlier in their back-and-forth, he describes to her a dream he has had in which the rope breaks during the hanging, the death bell rings, and he is freed. After he is taken to the gallows, the woman and the man's sister - who was summoned to be a witness to the marriage and who had been hoping for reconciliation - go into the prison chapel and, as the death bell tolls, they pray for his dream miracle to come true. The film fades to black. Cast
