British title: A Matter Of Life & Death (Much preferred by director Michael Powell).

US title: Stairway To Heaven

During wartime, US distributors did not want "death" in the title. Hence the rather silly change.

AMOLAD is one of my favorite Powell/Pressburgers. The newest release of it, with the intro by fan Martin Scorsese, is part of a two DVD set called "the Films Of Micahel Powell and includes the restored director's cut of Age Of Consent, a 1969 film directed by Powell (sans Pressburger) starring a twenty-something Helen Mirren au naturale. It concerns the life of bohemian Aussie artist Norman Lindsey, who was also the subject of the 1990s movie "Sirens". I have never seen this film and await it eagerly.
