Having lived a life of sin, Henry Van Cleve (Don Ameche) presents himself to His Excellency (Laird Cregar) at the gates of Hades. However, His Excellency is not sure that he wants to accept Henry, so Henry recalls his 70-year life in an attempt to gain access. His life has been filled with misadventures, romantic infidelities, and even one true love who was Martha (Gene Tierney)–his wife of 25 years. After relating his story, His Excellency tells Henry that his only sin was living life to the fullest and that he is not welcome in Hades. He takes Henry to the elevator and tells him that it may be difficult to get through the Pearly Gates but that if he succeeds he will join Martha. An excellent film based on Ladislaus Bus-Fekete's play, "Birthdays." Oscar nominations were received for Best Picture and Director.
