I remember seeing this movie as a child on TV, a very long time ago, probably in the 50's. It was also my Dad's favorite movie. If anyone knows of a copy I would move heaven and earth to get a copy.
AMC and TCM if you are listening, do something about it. I've even written to the western channel on our cable station to see if they can find it.
Such a loss that we can't find this movie, pity the poor people who never heard of or saw this special film. Robert Cummings played the angel and Brian Donlevy was the "bad" guy. I don't remember all of it, but certain scenes are prominent. Where Cummings goes into a burning building, walking through the flames to rescue someone. And of course the ending where Cummings is taking a little boy to Heaven, Oh, I remember being so moved by this and I was just a child of 8 or 9 years of age, and it still moved me.
