“A World That Is Gone Forever.
19 January 2003 | by lrrap – See all my reviews
"One Foot in Heaven" is quite simply one of the most beautiful films that I have encountered. A mainstream film of this sort would NEVER even be considered today; it seems even a bit tame for 1940.
And yet, the world was vastly different then, and the gentle,loving tone of this film reflects a sort of "old-time" morality that seems hopelessly lost today.” - DirectorMervyn LeRoyStarsAline MacMahonAnn DvorakPreston FosterTwo killers stop at Olga's gas station alongside a California highway.11-12-18 very good B movie!
