When Peter Carter (David Niven), a young airman, miraculously survives bailing out of his airplane without a parachute, he falls in love with an American radio operator. But the officials in the otherlife realize their mistake, and dispatch an angel to collect him.

A Matter of Life and Death finds Powell and Pressburger at their most imaginative - and controversial. Intended to smooth tensions between the wartime allies Britain and America, the richly humanistic film, set in gorgeously photographed Technicolor, traverses time and space to make a case for the transcendent value of love. A new 4K restoration.
