Morbidly fascinating fantasy on death. Lionel Barrymore is visited by Mr Brinks, but because of a prior good deed is able to trap him in a tree. He finds not only himself immortal, but the whole world immortal with death up a tree. At first he is happy beyond words, but soon learns that death is as necessary as life. Bobs Watson is excellent as the boy Pud, and shares a particularly emotional scene with Barrymore towards the end.
