Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.com Essential Video

A gung-ho and merciful angel (Buck Henry) pulls Joe Pendleton (Beatty), a football star, out of his body before his time, forcing the higher powers to come up with a substitute host. Joe settles on a vicious multimillionaire whose wife and partner are trying to kill him. Light, breezy, with not a mean bone in its body, Heaven is based on the 1941 film Here Comes Mr. Jordan. Beatty is wonderfully daft and innocent as Joe, Jack Warden is on top of his form as Joe's trainer Corky, and Julie Christie appears to be playing a diaphanous summer dress. Great comic relief is provided by Dyan Cannon, Charles Grodin, and the notion that the 1978 Los Angeles Rams could go to the Superbowl. --Keith Simanton

3.0 out of 5 stars Good acting by Warren Beatty at least, Aug 17 2011
This review is from: Heaven Can Wait (Widescreen) (DVD)
I would actually rate this 3.5 if I could. It was not as good as I remembered. But, to give it credit, it wasn't bad.

This review is from: Heaven Can Wait (Widescreen) (DVD)
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Joe Pendleton (Warren Beatty) is about to meet his demise in an accident. A heavenly escort (Buck Henry) plucks him from his body just be for he is dispatched. At the way station he refused to board for his finals destination, complaining the mistake was made. Sure enough Mr. Jordan (James Mason) finds out that the over zealous escort did not wait for the outcome which would not be fatal.

Now they must find him a new body because his old one had been cremated. Not finding an ideal match. He settles for a temporary, Leo Farnsworth; he is ambivalent at first until he meets a girl Betty Logan (Julie Christie) he wants to help. He also want's to get this body in shape for the Superbowl. The fun begins when he has to learn to be Farnsworth, his wife (Dyan Cannon,) and male secretary (Charles Grodin) "lovers" what to kill him.

Will they kill him?
Or will he make the Superbowl?
And what becomes of Betty?

This is based, and I must say much improved on a movie called "Here comes Mr. Jordon" from a play by Harry Segall. Jack Warden plays Joe's friend Max Corkle that ties all the Joe incarnations together.
