With the assistance of a guiding angel, a dead man combs Heaven and Hell seeking his widow, a recent and presumably doomed suicide. Powerful and heartbreaking drama with stunning visuals; an overlooked gem completely atypical of Robin Williams. Adaptation of science fiction author Richard Matheson's unusual story. Won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects; received an additional nomination for Best Set Decoration.
