Notes

A sophisticated supernatural Hollywood comedy whose
influence continues to be felt, Here Comes Mr. Jordan stars the
eminently versatile Robert Montgomery as a working-class
boxer and amateur aviator whose plane crashes in a freak
accident. He finds himself in heaven but is told, by a wry angel
named Mr. Jordan (Claude Rains), that his death was a clerical
error, and that he can return to earth by entering the body of a
corrupt (and about-to-be-murdered) banker - whose soul could
use a transplant. Having inspired a sequel with Rita Hayworth
and two remakes (the first starring Warren Beatty and the
second Chris Rock), Alexander Hall’s effervescent Here Comes
Mr. Jordan is comic perfection.
