zabadak 29th Apr 2016		Oh, OK - thanks :thumbsup:



Quad5point1 ● 29th Apr 2016		I have to agree 100% on your analysis of the movie. I would correct you on one thing though and that's David Niven's character was Squadron Leader Peter Carter and he was flying back in a damaged Lancaster bomber and not a Spitfire.



zabadak 29th Apr 2016		Rated 10/10 Absolutely brilliant, one of my all-time favourite films! I simply had to add the actor "Marius Goring as Conductor 71" as his part is one of the most important aspects of the film! Another great example of how the simple trick of showing one world in colour and another in black and white (cc The Wizard Of Oz) can be so profound. David Niven is just simply brilliant here; Kim Hunter (later of Planet Of The Apes fame) is just adorable; Marius Goring is hilariously camp but also charming in his own way. The story is simple - it is not a spoiler to say that Niven's character is supposed to be killed when his Spitfire crashes on the way back from a sortie. Due to a clerical mix-up in Heaven, he doesn't die and Goring is dispatched to sort it out. Niven realises he doesn't want to die and decides to plead his case, saying that he is now in love with Hunter's radio girl. Wondrous film-making! :happy: 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
