Synopsis
When a boxer (Robert Montgomery) is accidentally called to Heaven 50 years before his time, it´s upto celestial executive extraordinaire Mr. Jordan (Claude Rains) to straighten out the matter. When Columbia Pictures´ financial advisors read the screenplay for the fantasy comedy HERE COMES MR. JORDAN, they had their doubts as to its box-office potential. Screenwriter Sidney Buchman went directly to studio president Harry Cohn in an effort to convince him to make the film. Cohn liked the script´s uniqueness and, saying that all his bankers wanted was "what sold last year," told Buchman he´d make the picture. To play the saxophone-playing boxer Joe Pendelton, Cohn decided to borrow Robert Montgomery from MGM. Although Mongomery had some initial doubts about his part, he delivered what was to become an Oscar -nominated performance. The film, which received a total of seven 1941 nominations, including Best Picture, won two (Best Motion Picture Story, Best Screenplay). HERE COMES MR. JORDAN was so successful, it inspired a semi-sequel (1947´s Down To Earth, which starred Rita Hayworth) and was eventually remade in 1978 as Heaven Can Wait..
