plot summary: Royal Air Force pilot Peter Carter (David Niven) is forced to jump out of his plane without a parachute only to wake up alive and unharmed due to a mishap in heaven. Before he can be fetched to his rightful spot in heaven he finds and falls in love with June (Kim Hunter) the last women he talked to before his crash landing. Now he must stand trial before God (Abraham Sofaer) to plead his case for a second chance at life. NOTE: In the US the name of this British Made Film was changed because no one in the US wanted to have the word DEATH in a title after WW2
sez says: this is a wild --SURREAL--movie. the story is rather stupid--but the visuals are wondrous. Another Jack Cardiff masterpiece (cinematographer)
mjc says: the black and white heaven--refocuses the true foundations of human joy on earth.
