Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941)
Country: US
Technical: bw 93m
Director: Alexander Hall
Cast: Robert Montgomery, Evelyn Keyes, Claude Rains
Synopsis:
A boxer is taken off fifty years too soon, and a heavenly envoy returns him to Earth as a millionaire playboy to make up for the mistake.
Review:
One of a series of films only loosely associated that no doubt salved the imaginations of the world at a time of global conflict. Based on a play called 'Heaven Can Wait', and remade as such in 1978, it was instead named after its celestial messenger (a characteristically suave Rains), and two years later Lubitsch stole the title for his afterlife comedy with Don Ameche. No matter, it is engaging fun from first to last. (Columbia)
