A Matter of Life and Death (1947) Dvd

Plot: Returning to England from a bombing run in May 1945, flyer Peter

Carter’s plane is damaged and his parachute ripped to shreds. He has his

crew bail out safely, but figures it is curtains for himself. He gets on the radio,

and talks to June, a young American woman working for the USAAF, and they

are quite moved by each other’s voices. Then he jumps, preferring this to burning

up with his plane. He wakes up in the surf. It was his time to die, but there

was a mixup in heaven. They couldn’t find him in all that fog. By the time

his “Conductor” catches up with him 20 hours later, Peter and June have

met and fallen in love. This changes everything, and since it happened

through no fault of his own, Peter figures that heaven owes him a second

chance. Heaven agrees to a trial to decide his fate.
