So I says to the Devil...

Heaven Can Wait (1943)

Directed by Ernst Lubitsch this film based on the play “Birthday” stars Dom Ameche and Gene Tierney. A dead old man tells the devil his life story to prove that he deserves to be admitted into hell.

This is a pretty light hearted film that while not overly sentimental is fairly easy watching. There may not be much of a moral that the story is pushing but it works decently enough if lacking some depth. As an early colour film the colour here looks good and the film is well made if unremarkable in it's execution.


3/5
