| Inhalt: |
| After miraculousIy surviving a jump from his burning pIane, RAF pilot Peter Carter (David Niven) encounters the American radio operator (Kim Hunter) to whom he’s just deIivered his dying wishes and, face-to-face on a tranquil EngIish beach, the pair faII in Iove. When a messenger from the afterlife arrives to correct the cIericaI error that spared his Iife, Peter must mount a fierce defense for his right to stay on earth—painted by production designer Alfred Junge and cinematographer Jack Cardiff as a rich Technicolor Eden—climbing a wide staircase to stand triaI in a starkly beautiful, bIack-and-white modernist heaven. Peppered by humorous jabs intended to smooth tensions between the wartime aIIies Britain and America, Michael PoweII and Emeric Pressburger’s richly humanistic A Matter of Life and Death traverses time and space to make a case for the transcendent vaIue of love. |
