Heaven only knows

When I was a young boy I watched this movie many many times. I remember seeing it on the Million Dollar Movie back in New York, they showed for a week every day and I watched it every day.....I want to see it again so very badly, but I've had no luck in trying to locate a copy....It really had an effect on me and I wish I could see it again.. I remember being glued to the TV set and knowing what would happen next but waiting for it to happen anyhow....Robert Cummings and Brian Donlevy were in the movie. I can still remember the stagecoach flying up to heaven with Michael (Robert Cummings) the angel saying goodbye to everyone and leaving to return to heaven at the end. They just don't make pictures like that anymore...What a shame it's not on video...
