Stars: David Niven, Kim Hunter, Robert Coote | Directors: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
Outrageous fantasy that seemed more in keeping after the huge death toll of a world war, and in any case learned the Hollywood lesson of eating its cake and still having it, the supernatural elements being capable of explanation. A mammoth technical job in the heavenly sequences, it deserves full marks for its sheer arrogance, wit, style and film flair. (Halliwellโs)
