I've Lived Before 1956
william talman wrote this? a creative team exploiting “[mid-]fifties reincarnation fad” (leonard maltin) to do a fan-servicey riff on peter ibbetson (ann harding basically reprising her role + the lead character’s name should quiet any doubts).
i had been under the impression that ibbetson wasn’t “rediscovered” until much later than 1956 but was clearly wrong. a good reminder that cinephiles write film history with themselves at the center, and we sort of assume a movie like peter ibbetson didn’t exist…Translated from by

Smart Money 1931
has the same large fish tank used in another 1931 warner cagney vehicle Taxi! although the tank is more crowded in this one so i’m guessing some of the fish died between productions
