this be probably one of the most original love story i have see for age and especially for a war base ( briefly ) film . basically it be a story base in two world and one obviously real and the other fictitious but the filmmaker say at the beginning that it be only coincidence if it be a real place . anyway and peter carter ( the great david niven ) be go to crash in a plane and he talk to june ( planet of the ape kim hunter ) before he bail out and say he love her . he be mean to die from jump without a parachute and but somehow he survive and and now he be see and love june in the flesh . this other place and like a heaven and be unhappy because he survive and be mean to come to their world and so they send french conductor 71 ( marius gore ) to persuade him to go and but he be obviously in love . peter suggest to him that he should appeal to keep his life to the other world court and he be grant this . obviously love prevails when the two lover announce that they would die for each other and june even offer to take his place . also star robert coote a bob trubshawe and kathleen byron a an angel and a brief ( then unknown ) lord sir richard attenborough a an english pilot and abraham sofaer a the judge or the surgeon . david niven be number 36 on the 50 great british actor and the film be number 86 on the 100 great tearjerker for the happy end and it be number 47 on the 100 great war film and it be number 46 on the 50 great british film and and it be number 59 on the 100 great film . outstanding .
