Rating: 5/5 -- The Lubitsch Touch is clearly here. Colorful, tongue firmly in cheek comedy-fantasy.

Heaven Can Wait may be 73 years old, but it's vibrant and alive, and teaching us anew the central language of film. Full Review

The genius of Ernst Lubitsch is appreciated, but it's not at the level of his best films. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- Count German expat Ernst Lubitsch among the directors whose films require a darkened theater and a willing audience to even work -- you just won't get him at home on your flatscreen. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- The charming period piece has more depth in its cheerful depiction of death and breezy satire on society mores than what might be apparent. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- Scripted by Raphaelson, Lubitsch's frequent collaborator, this light, suave comedy of manners (his first in color) displays what's known as the Lubitsch touch, and would have been more successful with a more charismatic actor than Don Ameche. Full Review

Product Description:

A sharp romantic comedy with the Lubitsch touch. When a dearly departed former playboy (Ameche) goes to Hell, he must convince the ruler of the realm of darkness that he has come to the right place. He recounts his life story including his unfaithfulness to his beautiful wife (Tierney), but as his life flashes in front of his eyes, he and the devil find he was a terribly good father, a horribly loyal husband and a hideously kindhearted soul. Academy Award Nominations: Best Color Cinematography, Best Picture, Best Director.
