Copy’s not fabulous, a bit dark, but the dialogue is clear enough for an evening, pre-politics movie:
Soul survivor (IMDb)
Made on a shoestring budget ,this movie was,at the time of its release , ahead of its time, predating such works as “bid time return” “Audrey Rose” ” fearless” and many more .Time warp was rarely used then (“portrait of Jennie” (1949) was a notable exception though)
An aging Ann Harding is the stand -out : she who was young in “Peter Ibbetson” (1935) ,a masterpiece of the fantasy genre , is ideally cast as this war fiancée who lost her sweetheart when his plane crashed in 1918.
The movie is shrouded in mystery ;clues are given to the viewer: a twelve-year -old drives a plane without having learned to do it ,the strange chemistry between the captain and his passenger ,the strange words the survivor utters when he regains consciousness .
The movie may be too talky for some, but it proves that a fantasy tale does not need a ton of special effects to impress the viewer ; it may be,according to your own sensitivity a Christian movie (soul is immortal) or a mystery science will later explain (the pychiatrist).
