Review of Heaven Can Wait (1978) by Michael S — 05 Jan 2008
It is hard to aprove on a classic comedy like Here Comes Mr. Jordan - yes, this is NOT a remake of Heaven Can Wait - but Beatty and Henry did it. Beatty looks wonderful and acts with a kind of clumsy charm that is very apropriate here. Julie Christie is gorgeous as she girlfriend - their final scene together is sher Hollywood-magic. It won the Oscar for best production design, but is really the unforgettable ending between Beatty and Christie, a moving Jack Warden and a very funny Dyan Cannon you remember. They all deserved Oscar-nominations, but Christie was sadly overlooked.
A modern classic.
