Involuntarily-retired Colonel Hyde recruits seven other dissatisfied ex-servicemen for a special project—a strategic heist—in this British classic.

When a young airman miraculously survives bailing out of his aeroplane without a parachute, he falls in love with an American radio operator. But the officials in the other world realise their mistake, and dispatch an angel to collect him. Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes), and starring David Niven (Separate Tables).
