Seventh Heaven is a 1937 American movie directed by Henry King. Parisian canal worker Chico is an avowed and thus criticized atheist but has his heart in the right place. That's why he rescues young girl Diane when she's asked to perform animation duties and worse at her brutish sister's bar and gets beaten up by her. The two spend more time together and some of Chico's optimism rubs off on Diane, who becomes increasingly confident, and Chico also gets a job as a street cleaner and slowly rises up the ranks. But World War I approaches and threatens to tear the couple apart.

This film is a remake of the 1927 silent film of the same name and is also based on an original work on the play of the same name by Melville Barker.
