Heaven Can Wait - DVD

Maverick [Blu-ray]

Joe Pendleton, a saxophone playing boxer, is mistakenly collected and taken to heaven by an overanxious angel before his scheduled death, and he can't go back to his original body. What to do? Based on a 1938 play, the first filmed adaptation was 1941's InchHere Comes Mr. Jordan.Inch In this version, Pendleton learns his presence in heaven was a mistake and that he cannot return to his original body because his boxing manager had him cremated. The challenge is to now find a new body for him to inhabit, who will look like the person whose body he inhabits but only with Pendleton's memories.

Joe Pendleton is a Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback ready to lead the team all the way to the Super Bowl, but the afterlife has other plans. It seems an overzealous guardian angel has prematurely plucked Joe from the living. When he's returned to Earth in the body of millionaire industrialist Leo Farnsworth, he inherits a world of challenges, including winning the love of a woman who already hated him. Warren Beatty stars (as well as co-Writes and co-Directs) this beloved Oscar winning screwball romantic-comedy featuring Julie Christie, James Mason, Jack Warden, Charles Grodin, Dyan Cannon and Buck Henry.
