Suddenly, the pair find themselves on board a fogshrouded, mostlydeserted cruise ship together with some other passengers. Ann recognizes them as the people who were killed in the bombing. The steward, Scrubby Edmund Gwenn, asks Henry and Ann not to tell the others they are dead it is better that they come to the realization on their own.As first, the couple is delighted to be together eternally and to have Henrys pianoplaying ability restored to him, but they soon find their situation unbearable as they become acquainted with the others. Timid Anglican priest Reverend William Duke Dennis King yearns to more actively help his fellow man, while American merchant sailor Pete Musick George Tobias, who has survived three ship sinkings, looks forward to seeing his infant child for the first time. A kindhearted older woman, Mrs. Midget Sara Allgood, tells Thomas Prior John Garfield, a cynical, wisecracking newspaperman, that she would be content with a little place of her own. At one point in the film Prior says that his epitaph should read Here lies Prior. Wifeless. Childless. Wishing his father had died the same. ........
