A Matter Of Life And Death

It's night over Europe, the night of the 2nd of May 1945:
A crippled Lancaster Bomber struggles home across the English Channel. All the crew are dead save for the young pilot desperately scanning the radio waves for signs of Life. His prayers are answered. June (Kim Hunter), a young radio operator, picks up his signal, and in the final moments of the young flyer's life, a special bond is formed.

The next morning, washed up on a English beach, Squadron Leader Peter Carter (David Niven) is still alive! He find June, and the two fail instantly in love. Somehowhe has survived. It's a miracle... or is it?

Peter Carter should have died that night but a heavenly escort missed him in the fog over the channel, and now he must face celestial court of appeal for his right to live.
