“A romantic, daring and beautifully realized allegorical fantasy—one of the best of the Powell/Pressburger movies”
—Martin Scorsese

“One of the most audacious films ever made—in its grandiose vision, and in the cozy English way it’s expressed… The special effects show a universe that never existed until this movie was made, and the vision is breathtaking in its originality.”
—Roger Ebert

Powell and Pressburger are at their most imaginative in this story of a WWII Royal Air Force flier (David Niven) who forms a unique, spiritual connection with his American radio operator (Kim Hunter). A romance that transcends life and death, heaven and earth. Completely unforgettable Cinema.
