A Matter of Life and Death (1947) – DVD
Between heaven and earth, one man fights for the right to live — and to love. Directed by the legendary duo Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, this breathtaking 1947 British fantasy romance stars David Niven as a RAF pilot who miraculously survives a jump from his burning plane without a parachute. Convinced he was meant to die, heaven sends an emissary to collect him — but he’s fallen in love, and he’s not going without a fight.
A visually stunning masterpiece that shifts between glorious Technicolor on Earth and ethereal black-and-white in the afterlife, A Matter of Life and Death (also known as Stairway to Heaven) is one of the greatest British films ever made. A must-own for fans of David Niven, Powell & Pressburger, and classic golden age cinema.
