Death Takes a Holiday
No one can die – while he makes love!
Directed by Mitchell Leisen
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A philosophical fantasy romance where Death incarnate seeks understanding and love, grappling with mortality, meaning, and the sacrifice required by genuine affection.
After years of questioning why people fear him, Death takes on human form so he can mingle among the mortals and find an answer. However, events soon spiral out of control as he falls in love with the beautiful young Grazia, the only woman not afraid of him. As he falls in love with her, her father sees him for what he is and begs him to return to his duties. Death must decide whether or not to seek his own happiness or sacrifice it so that Grazia may live.
