Very well done romantic morality play
Complete with all the cliche characters (Fallen Woman, Stuck Up Woman, Ruthless Captain of Industry, Good-for-Nothing, Star Crossed Lovers, etc.), this seemingly innocent fantasy about Judgement Day quickly turns quite intense and filled with suspense, as has been said, a showcase for several very talented actors. Most especially, Sydney Greenstreet as a good guy was wonderful. There are many surprises at the end, all having to do with the dispositions of the various souls. All dealt with very fairly, but in unexpected ways.

Beautifully realized
A beautifully realized retelling of Outward Bound with some of the best feature actors and characters actors working at the time. The wonderful thing about these old studio films is that they had the resources to fill a film with top flight talent because they were all under contract.
Top billed John Garfield is great as the tough talking but inwardly insecure reporter and he is supported by some very fine performances. Faye Emerson gives what is probably her best performance of her short career as well as adding a shot of glamour. The entire cast is superb and each get their spotlight moment. Sara Allgood and Isobel Elsom provide an interesting contrast of what time and circumstance can do to a person. George Tobias adds a warm presence as an everyday mook who just wants to get along with everyone. Edmund Gwenn and Sydney Greenstreet make a great pair as the gatekeepers. The weakest link is probably Henreid, who is okay but not up to the quality work of the others.
By necessity stage bound the film manages to convey a eerie feeling of the in between through lighting and an excellent mood setting score.
