I have read most of the other reviews and I have almost nothing to say about the subject of this excellent film on a meagre budget which is reincarnation. The ' almost nothing ' is that I do not know and posit the fact that no one knows, and respect those who are against being reborn and those who don't. But what I do believe is that despite Universal Studios giving two of its ' minor ' actors to play the lead roles that they both give extraordinarily good performances. Jock Mahoney as the pilot who thinks he has been reincarnated is utterly convincing, and the horror and dismay he feels at the beginning of this realisation made me feel that he was far better as an actor than the celebrated Rock Hudson. The same goes for Leigh Snowden, who could have equalled Marilyn Monroe, shows an intelligence and sensitivity in her support for her husband to be, and the nightmarish ( literally ) situation he is in. Why Hollywood did not realise that they had physically beautiful, talented actors who could have played in ' A ' films as well as ' B ' films is beyond understanding. My I don't know about this is much larger than that of reincarnation, and I am saddened to see that both Mahoney and Snowden were so ill used. And then there is Ann Harding, a superb actor who was understood as such and the presence of all three of them at the close of the film brought tears to my eyes. A scene that any budding actor should be able to see, and yet this film has as far as I know been dumped on the bonfire of unwanted films for far too long. There is also a lot of communication in the scenario, and serious discussion which is so lacking in many a Hollywood film of this current verbally poverty stricken era. The direction is capable, the sets minimal but for anyone who loves actor's cinema it is a must see. YouTube has it in a weathered copy, and I for sure will watch it again. I give it a 9 instead of 10 because it should not have been given ' B ' film treatment, and have perhaps been respected more.
