		It is based on the play by Harry Segall and is scripted by Sidney Buchman and Seton Miller.
		But the film is not without a quaint charm in parts, though its afterlife visions are more or less the dullish Hollywood ones that comically rely mostly on reaction shots to the odd situation.

	Harry Segall's "Heaven Can Wait" at Hale Centre Theatre-8/13 to 9/25/04
		Written by Harry Segall in the late 1930s, the play centers on a boxer named Joe Pendleton who is plucked from his body by an overzealous angel before an accident he would have avoided, and a chief angel named Mr.
		Jordan must find a suitable body for him to live the remainder of his years within, dealing with Joe’s absolute insistence on being able to take it to the Heavyweight Championship.
		The opening night of Director Gary Helmbold’s mounting was one of the worst fall-apart run-throughs I’ve ever seen that a paying crowd has been asked to suffer through.

	One Guy's Opinion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Review: It could be argued that the trajectory of increasing coarseness in American culture over the past six decades can be traced in the depiction of the caretakers of the hereafter in the successive filmizations of Harry Segall's play "Halfway to Heaven." In the first version, "Here Comes Mr.
		Jordan" (1941), the smooth, unflappable Claude Rains played the overseer of paradise, and Edward Everett Horton, the very image of the flustered butler, his harried assistant, who set the plot in motion by whisking away the hero's soul before its appointed time and forcing his boss to provide a "loner" body to the not-quite-deceased.
		Meanwhile, the title of Segall's original play, "Halfway to Heaven," has never been used for a movie.

		Audiences certainly bought it lock, stock and barrel, but critics loved it too and it garnered seven Oscar nominations, winning Academy Awards for Best Original Story (Harry Segall) and Best Screenplay (Sidney Buchman and Seton I. Miller).
		Studio mogul Harry Cohn had his doubts about the film's commercial prospects and was also getting heat from the company's East Coast financial advisors, who thought Cohn should play it safe and only make pictures based on past successes.
		The latter, though also a comic fantasy, has no relation to the Harry Segall play and deals instead with a playboy who reviews his notorious past while awaiting entrance into Hades.

		Director Howard Hawks' screwball comedy has plenty of funny moments, but it didn't make me laugh as much as it should have considering its great cast of Cary Grant, Charles Coburn, Ginger Rogers, and Marilyn Monroe, and talented screenwriters Ben Hecht, I.A.L. Diamond, and Charles Lederer.
		It's based on a story by Harry Segall.
		Hawks' attempts to draw out the thin idea and carry it off in a zany slapstick manner is only marginally successful, though certainly worth seeing and pondering what went wrong in the film's formula from making it a great flick.

		A witty, caustic, and exciting film, this is a reverse from the script Segall wrote for HERE COMES MR.
		Here it is not heavenly messengers trading off bodies for a misappropriated soul; the action comes the other way, from the fiery depths, where the flamboyant Rains, as a calculating and often funny Devil, makes a deal with lost soul Muni, a former gangster killed by a henchman, Albright.

	DVD Verdict Review - Angel On My Shoulder
		A play with this title, written by Harry Segall, was the basis for Columbia's excellent 1941 film Here Comes Mr.
		Jordan in which boxer Robert Montgomery meets the celestial registrar (Claude Rains) much sooner than he should have due to an error by an over-eager heavenly messenger.
		Then just to mix things up even further, Segall himself came up with a new story that owed a lot to his earlier play and it served as the basis for 1946's Angel on My Shoulder in which Claude Rains once again appeared as an otherworldly being, this time Satan.
