A Matter of Life and Death

“Neither Heaven nor Earth could keep them apart!”

Peter Carter (David Niven), a British airman, jumps from his burning bomber without a parachute and wakes on a beach, alive and unaccounted for. The heavenly messenger sent to collect him, Conductor 71 (Marius Goring), missed his mark in the fog, and June (Kim Hunter), the American radio operator who talked him down, is already in his life. Powell and Pressburger put Peter on trial for it, with his life and June on the line.
