		But his performance in Heaven Can Wait impressed enough of the dimwitted troglodytes among the voters to garner a nomination.
		Heaven Can Wait (1978) should not be confused with Heaven Can Wait (1943), the Ernst Lubitsch classic.
		The foggy "heaven" setting is one such example, and it is hard to judge such a scene without knowing how this film looked when it was originally released to theaters.

	The Jujube Spotlight - Heaven Can Wait (1978)
		It pains me to say it, but I have a feeling that if I discovered "Heaven Can Wait" only this year, I would write it off, on the whole, as too discomfiting and absurd.
		Indeed, "Heaven Can Wait" uses some pretty heavy themes in the service of comedy, and sometimes the combination doesn't sit well.
		Yet if one can simply absorb the story without thinking about it too much, the appeal of the actors works its magic, making the premise droll, the punchlines funny, and the ending as happy as can be expected for a man who (nearly) meets his maker before his time is up.

		I don't believe a soundtrack CD is available, but Grusin has revisited the themes from Heaven Can Wait on his "Cinemagic" (full orchestra) and "Now Playing" (solo piano) CD's.
		If Heaven Can Wait is a fair representation of his talents, then it's a shame he didn't more of this kind of thing because he is really quite good at it.
		Heaven Can Wait gets my highest recommendation and I can only dream of a day when we see a romantic comedy with this level of intelligence again.

	Heaven Can Wait review (1978) Warren Beatty - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Jordan, and while Heaven Can Wait may not quite live up to the classic status of that film, it stands up quite well on its own as a light romantic fantasy.
		Not a religious film by any means, it isn't concerned so much with Heaven or the afterlife so much as exploring the comic possibilities of a man transported from one life to another, trying to inject his own personality into the body of another.
		Joe has two goals in mind: to find a way back to his rightful place as the Rams starting QB and to win the heart of the lovely Betty Logan (Julie Christie, Finding Neverland), the schoolteacher who has been pleading with him not to build a refinery in her town.

		Although Eddie tries to reach Howard, his guardian angel can't at first be found, and when he finally appears, he tells Eddie that he is the only one who can help her, as angels can't interfere in the lives of mortals.
		Heaven is presented as sort of a corporate world of white, where the angels have voice mail, middle managers, offices, and job titles but don't have wings.

	Heaven Can Wait review (1978) Warren Beatty - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Not a religious film by any means, it isn't concerned so much with Heaven or the afterlife so much as exploring the comic possibilities of a man transported from one life to another, trying to inject his own personality into the body of another.
		Heaven Can Wait marked the first film directed by Warren Beatty, working closely with comedian co-star Buck Henry in order to keep the timing and momentum just right.
		Heaven Can Wait did achieve great critical and commercial success, but it isn't likely to be perceived as anything great by those who don't like sentimental movies, or those expecting something more substantive.

		In retrospect, you can see how one dramatic, life-altering incident followed by a series of contrived circumstance and subtle hints gave Joe the illusion that he was shaping events that were really being shaped by Mr.
		While he’s waiting for the butler to arrive on the crime scene, he turns around and you can see that the monogram on his robe is a fancy "F" for Farnsworth.

	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.

		Fun Fact: The adult admission at a Los Angeles movie theater in 1978 was $4.00 ("Superman: The Movie" was $4.50).
		Below are a few titles that are often listed as being released in 1978, but, so far, we have found no record of them playing in Los Angeles that year.
		Because of the regional release patterns used back then it is very possible the films played the drive-in circuit or small towns and then opened in major cities the following year.

	Heaven Can Wait (1943)- Moria The Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Review
		The film is certainly remarkable in its creation of sympathy for what should otherwise be seen as a wholly unlikable character – a rampant womanizer, a liar, a cheat and an adulterer.
		One can see that the play has it over the film – each act of the play is set around one of the character’s titular birthdays.
		But in the film, without the dramatic cut-and-close effect of having a curtain come down to physically close each scene, the basic concept is lost and is even further diluted by the film’s somewhat meaningless title change.

	Fraker-Crudo
		In Fraker’s version heaven is a classic image created with mist rising off dry ice with a white cyc background.
		For Heaven only, I had a number one Tiffen hite ProMist filter on the lens that softened the texture enough to separate it from the scenes on Earth.
		QUESTION: There was a 23 -year interval between Heaven Can Wait and Down To Earth, and lots of new technology including films, lenses, lights, and ways to move the camera.

	Heaven Can Wait (1978)- Moria The Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Review
		The film and play was further remade as Down to Earth(2001) with actor Chris Rock where it was given a racial twist and became a film about a Black man being incarnated in a white man’s body.
		None of the gaping holes in the original are patched up either – one still asks why Farnsworth’s body can be resurrected from the dead when Joe’s cannot.
		And the inherent wrongness in Heaven’s failure to alert Joe to the tragic end that Farnsworth faces still glares.

		On the DVD: Heaven Can Wait comes to DVD in a good 1.77:1 ratio transfer which exhibits just a little grain in some darker scenes.

		Though there are some very funny things in it, its glib message about being oneself turns out to be a cover for being self-indulgent, in the style (I’m afraid) of so many younger artists these days.
		Part of the point of putting the hero in that all-male context in the earlier films was to point the contrast between his masculine striving, and failure, in a public and competitive arena and the love, associated with the private and the feminine, that sustains him through it—and, ultimately, through death itself.
		Of course if you think it’s funny to think of heaven as a night club and its gatekeeper as a not particularly tough maître d$rsquo;, then you won’t mind about this.
