A Second World War bomber pilot survives jumping out of his stricken plane without a parachute and falls in love with the radio operator he had first spoken to during the fateful flight. A heavenly messenger is sent to tell him he should have died and that his presence is required in the afterlife, but he remains determined to continue his life on Earth and insists on a trial to resolve the issue. Powell and Pressburger's romantic fantasy, starring David Niven, Kim Hunter, Roger Livesey and Marius Goring
