SPOILER WARNING! The film is beautifully made and the acting is outstanding. The ending came as a surprise even though there was plenty of foreshadowing: a tramp is hit by a bus, then is almost instantly transported outside the office of the beautiful woman who tried to save him. No explanation of what happened in the interim. He wonders if he is dead, and then has a series of remarkable experiences. The acting and direction is so skillful that I almost didn't notice that everything is firmly based around the nameless tramp: he is either in a scene or is being discussed in it. He is everything he ever wanted: funny, attractive, liked, respected and loved. He wins the girl of his dreams and lives happily...
