Repeat Performance is a 1947 American film noir (with fantasy elements) starring Louis Hayward and Joan Leslie.

On New Year's Eve 1946, Sheila Page stands over her dead husband Barney with a gun in her hand.

They invite their friends, including Friday, for a New Year's Day breakfast, where Sheila warns William to avoid Eloise Shaw, who will have committed to an asylum.

To Sheila's surprise, English playwright Paula Costello crashes the party and flirts with Barney.

There, Barney reads Paula's new play Saying Goodbye, which Sheila remembers performing in the original timeline.

There, William recalls what Sheila's earlier statements about reliving 1946, and is reminded he walked out of the asylum on New Year's Eve.

The film reversed the original story that involves Barney having been the one killing his lover before he relives the previous year and Sheila being a drunk.

The film was restored after a screening in 2007 featuring a guest appearance by cast member Joan Leslie resulted in the discovery that a 35mm print had badly decomposed.

It featured Connie Sellecca, David Dukes, Jere Burns, Wendy Kilbourne and original cast member Joan Leslie.
