You never can tell with Dick Powell
i have been trying to find out the name of this films for over 10 years!! this will challenge even the biggest film buff, but i hope someone somewhere out there knows the answer.
the film is about a dog (alsatian/german shepherd) who dies and comes back as a man (Yes i know it sounds strange but bare with me)
it shows you the dog in heaven where the "god" is a lion and there is an angel who is a white horse. he is allowed to return to earth as a man but for a set time only.
when he returns to earth he goes to see his owner (a lady) and the lady has another dog (which she had before the dog died), i think it is a bull dog and it eats the food for the first time since the dog died. (this is because it is his doggie friend)
thats is all i can remember but i have been searching for the film for ages.
it must have been about 20 years ago when i watched it and i think it was black and white.
i hope someone knows this film and can solve this 10 year mystery :)

A more recent and very enjoyable film with a very similar theme is Dean Spanley (2008) where Peter O'Toole comes across a man who appears to be the reincarnation of his beloved dog, lost in childhood.
If you liked Dean Spanley and or O'Toole, watch his tour de force of Jeffrey barnard is unwell. 1999 recorded live at the Old vic...

I accidentally happened into the showing of "Jeffrey Barnard" some years ago around Xmas.
Superb. I am not a big fan of O'Toole but in that you can appreciate his talent.
