I watched this movie based on Scott Sumner’s recommendation (who is an economist by day, but does excellent film reviews at his blog). The movie is marvelous and engrossing, and the dated special effects make little to no difference–I will likely rewatch. The plot is simple: a bomber pilot escapes certain death and falls in love with his radio operator, but their love affair is spoiled when an emissary from the afterlife comes to collect him for the next world. He protests and then is faced with a heavenly trial. Highly recommended.
