Early 50’s short. Man waiting for Jesus in a bookstore

Does anyone know this film short from the early 50’s? I’ve compiled a list below of all the details I have that can be remembered. I’m trying to identify the short for a friend of mine who saw when she was a girl. Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Short
Watched in movie theater
Early 50’s
Black & white (probably)
Man in bookstore waiting for Jesus
(He’s somehow received message to meet Jesus there)
Another guy in store keeps trying to talk to him
Jesus doesn’t arrive
Turns out other guy was Jesus
Ends with man trying to find where the guy suddenly went
Man realizes the guy was Jesus
Sorry for the scant details bit hopefully someone will recognise something. Thanks again

Mid-50’s short. Man saves woman from jumping off bridge. Go to his apartment. Fall in love

Can anyone help with identifying what this short might be from the mid 50’s? I’ve compiled a list below of all the details I’ve been given/can be remembered. I’m trying to track this short down for a friend of mine who saw it as a girl and was affected by it. Huge thanks to anyone who can throw any light.

Short (but possibly a movie)

Man saves woman from jumping off bridge
(More Brooklyn than Golden Gate bridge–dirty city)

Scant details I know but hopefully they will spark something in someone. Here’s hoping!
