When RAF pilot Peter Carter (David Niven) takes heavy fire and fears he is about to die, he spends his last few moments talking to American radio operator June (Kim Hunter). However, he miraculously survives the crash as the being sent to ferry him to the afterlife loses him in the fog. After he meets and falls in love with June, Peter is summoned to the Other World to accept his death, a fate he appeals with the help of his initially sceptical friend and man of science Frank (Roger Livesey) in this magical film. Screening as part our Powell & Pressburger season, December 2nd – 20th.
