- Double Feature: A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (aka STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN) 1946, Sony Repertory, 104 min. Dirs. Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger. A breathtaking meditation on the mercies of love and the cruelties of fate, A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH stars David Niven as a WWII pilot pleading his case in Heaven, claiming that he was not meant to die and should be allowed to return to lovely Kim Hunter on Earth. Roger Livesey co-stars as the doctor who becomes Niven’s solicitor on the astral plane, with the delightful Marius Goring as a dandified angel. BLACK NARCISSUS, 1947, Park Circus/MGM, 99 min. Directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s exquisite (and surprisingly erotic) drama of spiritual devotion and earthly temptation stars the luminous Deborah Kerr as a nun nearly overwhelmed by the physical beauty of her new Himalayan home, and the worldly charms of rugged David Farrar.
