Short description
Boxer Joe Pendleton, flying to his next fight, crashes...because a Heavenly Messenger, new on the job, snatched Joe's spirit prematurely from his body. Before the matter can be rectified, Joe's body is cremated; so the celestial Mr. Jordan grants him the use of the body of wealthy Bruce Farnsworth, who's just been murdered by his wife. Joe tries to remake Farnsworth's unworthy life in his own clean-cut image, but then falls in love; and what about that murderous wife?
What's left behind the scenes
- Harry Cohn (1891-1958), the founder and president of Columbia Pictures, had certain doubts about this adaptation of the little-known play by Harry Segal (1892-1975). He preferred to allocate substantial budgets only to the production of films in whose future box office success he was one hundred percent confident—for example, films featuring Rita Hayworth (1918-1987). However, screenwriter Sidney Buchman (1902-1975) somehow managed to convince Cohn to allocate money for the expensive sets of the afterlife and the luxurious Farnsworth mansion, and also to borrow Robert Montgomery (1904-1981) from MGM. On top of that, Buchman managed to convince Cohn that he knew what audiences would go to the cinema to see better than the Wall Street bankers to whom Cohn reported.
- James Gleason (1882-1959) was brought onto the film's creative team primarily to help refine the dialogue. Gleason had a gift for using colloquialisms, and he also proved to be an excellent actor.
