Movie Reviews

Arizona Daily Star - 10/10 by Phil VillarrealThe film is surprisingly sharp-edged and caustic for 1941 fare.
Creative Loafing - 9/10 by Matt BrunsonThe delightful Here Comes Mr. Jordan was based on a play (Harry Segall's Heaven Can Wait), but it's hardly a stagebound film, given its ease at hopping between numerous locales both earthy and celestial.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 9/10 by Ken HankeFirst and easily the best version of the story.
Q Network Film Desk - 8/10 by James Kendrickjuggles the tones and genre shifts with an impressive deftness that makes it feel all of a piece even though, in many ways, it is all over the place
Nick's Flick Picks - 7/10 by Nick DavisMr. Jordan has the right kind of love for itself: it isn't self-glorifying or self-fetishizing so much as it is contagiously warm toward its characters and besotted with its tenderly ambitious script
Film-Forward.com - 6/10 by Kent TurnerThe appealing theme of predestination is expressed by [Rain's] Mr. Jordan ... making this one of the few rom-coms expressly for Presbyterians.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyA mildly amusing comedy fantasy that was extremely popular during WWII and later served as the basis for Warren Beatty's 1978 Heaven Can Wait.
CineVue - 6/10 by Christopher MachellThere are some nice comic moments peppered throughout, but more interesting than the film itself is its influence on film and TV.
User Review - 10/10 by John WStarring Robert Montgomery, Claude Rains and Evelyn Keyes. You may already know the basic premise since it was remade as "Heaven Can Wait" with Warren Beatty in 1978 and more recently as "Down to Earth" (2001) with Chris Rock. Joe Pendleton (Montgomery) is a saxophone-playing boxer who is plucked from an airplane disaster by a heavenly messenger (Edward Everett Horton). In his haste, the messenger neglects to save Pendleton's body from being destroyed in the crash so a new 'vessel' must be found for the former athlete's spirit. Mr. Jordan (Rains), who is in charge of newly arrived souls in Heaven, solves the dilemma by placing Pendleton inside the body of just-murdered millionaire Bruce Farnsworth and revives him, completely baffling Farnsworth's evil wife (Rita Johnson) and her lover (John Emery). Complicating matters even further are Farnsworth's romance with a woman (Keyes) handling a financial crisis for her father and his preparation for a championship boxing match under Pendleton's former trainer (James Gleason). In spite of its outlandish premise, "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" successfully suspends one's disbelief through its expert performances, witty dialogue, and energetic direction by Alexander Hall.
User Review - 10/10 by Peggy CThe original Heaven Can Wait starring Robert Montgomery (Bewitchs Elizabeth Montgomerys Father). Wonderful performances from James Gleason, Edward Everett Horton and they always spot on Claude Rains. A great comedy.
