Spoiled playboy Henry van Cleve dies and arrives at the entrance to Hell, a final destination he is sure he deserves after living a life of profligacy. The devil, however, isn't so sure Henry meets Hell's standards. Convinced he is where he belongs, Henry recounts his life's deeds, both good and bad, including an act of indiscretion during his 25-year marriage to his wife, Martha, with the hope that "His Excellency" will arrive at the proper judgment.

This is really a lovely movie that I enjoyed very much. A beautiful love story that is the story behind movie. About a man who believes his place is in hell until he tells his story and then a decision is to be made. Loved this movie! Watch it!
