  Heaven Can Wait Movie Review (1978) from Channel 4 Film
By 1978, when Heaven Can Wait was made, the era was over, and while both stars were confirmed icons, their most prolific times and significant work was behind them.
Heaven Can Wait concerns the fate of Joe Pendleton (Beatty), an aging star quarterback for the LA Rams.
However, when Joe's involved in an accident with a truck, an over-zealous angel (Henry) pulls his soul through to the afterlife, or rather a staging area for heaven, which includes afterlife rapid transit in the form of a Concorde.

Heaven Can Wait is a core film blanc, one of those fanciful movies that postulates a Heavenly afterlife, usually as some sort of waiting room in the clouds where souls in transit face up to their sins.
The final bit of class in Heaven Can Wait is that it doesn't even need the kind of romantic reunion scene that gushes forth in most movies of this subgenre - there's no direct image of a movie star waiting for Henry at the pearly gates.

 Heaven Can Wait - DVD Movie Central
Heaven Can Wait (1943), based on the play "Birthday" by Lazlo Bus-Fekete, was Lubitsch's biggest commercial success as well as his first Technicolor film.
Heaven Can Wait adopts the nuances of the costume drama and biopic, with a flashback structure that illustrates the life and character of the film's main protagonist, Henry Van Cleve, but then sprinkles sly humor and a self-mocking tone throughout the story, best exemplifying that "Lubitsch Touch."
Heaven Can Wait was one of Ernst Lubitsch's final films, a sophisticated comedy about society values.

Heaven, and also death, are recurring themes in the National Book Critics Circle Award winning poet's newest collection of poetry, "School of the Arts," published this month by Harper Collins.
Doty believes that poetry is a place where we can see our inner lives reflected in a world that has grown increasingly chaotic and noisy and where everything seems to be mass-produced with a goal of homogenization.
You know, you can copy a poem, you can memorize it, you can give it away, you have your private experiences responding to those words and feeling what they mean to you, [but] nobody owns the interpretation of a poem, the right way to read it.

 Heaven Cant Wait
The "I went to heaven and hell" experiences are different first of all because those who claim to have experienced them are not necessarily near death when the event occurs.
In the verses leading up to his account of heaven, Paul was clearly reluctant to discuss his experience because he thought he might be perceived as "boasting" about it.
She has since written five other books, all of which mention her alleged trip to heaven during a death experience on July 31, 1959 at an Indiana hospital.[17] But in the June 11 issue of the Canadian publication Christian Week, reporter Lorna Dueck, who had investigated Malz's story, reported it to be flatly false.

Heaven Can Wait, the first color picture by legendary director Ernst Lubitsch, is not related to the Warren Beatty movie of the same name.

 New York State Writers Institute - Heaven Can Wait Film Notes
HEAVEN CAN WAIT masquerades lightly as the beyond-the-grave recollections of the aged roué Henry Van Cleve, but the film is in fact Ernst Lubitsch's own death foretold, his own life summed up.
But Lubitsch survived to shoot HEAVEN CAN WAIT, and Raphaelson happily put away his tribute, swearing his secretary to secrecy about his flood of sentiment.
In the end, heaven could not wait, and the death forestalled during the making of the film arrived to claim Lubitsch in 1947, after his sixth heart attack.
