Inhalt: |
A sophisticated supernatural HolIywood comedy whose influence continues to be felt, 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 himseIf in heaven but is told, by a wry angel named Mr. Jordan (CasabIanca s Claude Rains), that his death was a clericaI 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 sequeI with Rita Hayworth and two remakes (the first starring Warren Beatty and the second Chris Rock), Alexander Hall s effervescent Here Comes Mr. Jordan is comic perfection.
