Second Time Lucky is a 1984 New Zealand erotic comedy film directed by Michael Anderson and starring Diane Franklin and Roger Wilson.^[2] The story centres on God and the Devil making a bet on the definitive salvation or condemnation of humanity, as well as the couple that will decide mankind's fate.

Synopsis

Satan calls God by phone and asks him how is he doing, and if he is not tired of their eternal dispute for mankind's fate. Both decide to set up a definitive game, which will decide if humans deserve one last chance to reach Heaven or if they will be condemned forever to hell. They settle that Eve and Adam, an ordinary 20th Century couple, will be their "players"; travelling through time while fighting (or giving in) to temptation and carnal desire. Adam and Eve are then plunged back through time into a series of tableaus to test them: the Garden of Eden, Ancient Rome, World War I, The Roaring Twenties and current modern times.
