'When Tomorrow Dies' is a Canadian drama film, directed by Larry Kent and released in 1965.[Gerald Pratley, 'A Century of Canadian Cinema'. Lynx Images, 2003. . p. 238.] The film stars Patricia Gage as Gwen James, a housewife trapped in an unfulfilling marriage to Doug (Douglas Campbell), who returns to university and embarks on an extramarital affair with her professor Patrick Trevelyan (Neil Dainard).[[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/103105154/ "Les Wedman"], 'Vancouver Sun', November 25, 1975.]
The film was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, for a budget of $100,000, the largest budget Kent had worked with on any of his films to that time.[Eric Wilson, [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/103105507/ "Larry Kent Starts 3rd Film Venture"]. 'Red Deer Advocate', August 5, 1965.] It also marked his first time directing a screenplay that he had not written entirely on his own, as the film was written primarily by University of British Columbia creative writing professor Robert Harlow.[Jack Moore, [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/103105822/ "Maybe he IS a genius"]. 'The Province', August 14, 1965.]
The film had its theatrical premiere on November 24, 1965 in Vancouver.[

It was later screened at the 1984 Festival of Festivals as part of Front & Centre, a special retrospective program of artistically and culturally significant films from throughout the history of Canadian cinema.[Jay Scott, "Mon Oncle Antoine No. 1 with critics". 'The Globe and Mail', August 2, 1984.] It was also part of a retrospective of Kent's films, alongside 'The Bitter Ash', 'Sweet Substitute' and 'High', which screened at a number of venues in 2002 and 2003, including Cinematheque Ontario in Toronto, the Pacific Cinmathque in Vancouver and the Canadian Film Institute in Ottawa.[Matthew Hays, "Catch up on your Kent". 'The Globe and Mail', February 1, 2003.]
