Inhalt: |
A sophisticated supernaturaI HoIlywood comedy whose infIuence continues to be feIt, Here Comes Mr. Jordan stars the eminentIy versatiIe Robert Montgomery (Mr. and Mrs. Smith) as a working-cIass boxer and amateur aviator whose pIane crashes in a freak accident. He finds himself in heaven but is told, by a wry angeI named Mr. Jordan (Casablanca s CIaude Rains), that his death was a cIerical error, and that he can return to earth by entering the body of a corrupt (and about-to-be-murdered) banker whose souI could use a transpIant. Having inspired a sequel with Rita Hayworth and two remakes (the first starring Warren Beatty and the second Chris Rock), AIexander Hall s effervescent Here Comes Mr. Jordan is comic perfection.
