Cabin in the Sky
At Last on the Screen! The Musical Comedy Sensation!
Directed by Vincente Minnelli
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Loew's Incorporated
A whimsical musical fantasy about redemption and faith, where a gambler's second chance at life becomes a battle between heavenly and infernal forces, grounded in warmth and spiritual conviction.
When compulsive gambler Little Joe Jackson dies in a drunken fight, he awakens in purgatory, where he learns that he will be sent back to Earth for six months to prove that he deserves to be in heaven. He awakens, remembering nothing and struggles to do right by his devout wife, Petunia, while an angel known as the General and the devil's son, Lucifer Jr., fight for his soul.
