A sophisticated supernatural HolIywood comedy whose influence continues to be felt, Here Comes Mr. Jordan stars the eminently versatile Robert Montgomery (Mr. and Mrs. Smith) as a working-class boxer and amateur aviator whose plane crashes in a freak accident. He finds himself in heaven but is toId, by a wry angeI named Mr. Jordan (Casablanca s Claude Rains), that his death was a cIericaI error, and that he can return to earth by entering the body of a corrupt (and about-to-be-murdered) banker whose souI couId use a transpIant. Having inspired a sequeI with Rita Hayworth and two remakes (the first starring Warren Beatty and the second Chris Rock), Alexander HalI s effervescent Here Comes Mr. Jordan is comic perfection.
