    Worth seeing just for that wonderful ending!
    "One Year Later" is a shockingly good picture. After all, it's a cheap B-movie, so you'd expect nothing special....and boy was I wrong!

    The film begins with a couple getting married. Things look great. Then, a year passes and what a change....the husband is boarding a train headed to prison--where he's to be executed! You have no idea what happened and only through the course of the film do you learn when the wife tells a reporter their sad tale. Apparently, the husband's boss was a real pervert and he kept making overtures towards the young bride. When the husband began to suspect, he confronted the boss--and the boss fired him. However, the boss WAS willing to give the guy his job back if the wife would sleep with him! The husband arrives during this attempted rape and he attacks the boss. The boss pulls a gun but he is killed in the process. The case appears to be justifiable homicide or self-defense....but the jury didn't see it that way and he's going to die. But one of the reporters is also on the train because he's seriously ill and heading to a sanitarium....and he is shaken by the wife's story and decides to do something decent. What that is...well, you'll have to see the film.

    If loved everything about the ending--it was riveting, suspenseful and tied everything together perfectly. Despite the film's humble roots, it's darned good entertainment...B-movie or not.
