Heaven Can Wait is a 1978 American comedy film co-directed by Warren Beatty and Buck Henry. It was the second film adaptation of Harry Segall's stageplay of the same name, being preceded by Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941).
The film was nominated for nine Academy Awards. The cast reunites Beatty and Julie Christie, who also starred together in the 1971 McCabe & Mrs. Miller and the 1975 Shampoo.
A third film adaption of the stageplay was done in 2001, titled Down to Earth.
Joe Pendleton (Warren Beatty), a backup quarterback for the American football team Los Angeles Rams, is looking forward to leading his team to the Super Bowl. While riding his bicycle through the older west side of tunnel one on Kanan-Dume road in Malibu, he collides with a truck. An over-anxious guardian angel (Buck Henry) on his first assignment plucks Joe out of his body early, in the mistaken belief that his death is imminent, and Pendleton arrives in the afterlife.
Once there, he refuses to believe that his time was up and, upon investigation, the mysterious Mr. Jordan (James Mason) discovers that he is right: he was not destined to die until much later (10:17 am on March 20, 2025, to be exact). Unfortunately, his body has already been cremated, so a new body must be found. After rejecting several possibilities of men who are about to die, Joe is finally persuaded to accept the body of a millionaire industrialist. Leo Farnsworth has just been drugged and drowned in his bathtub by his wife Julia Farnsworth (Dyan Cannon) and her lover, Farnsworth's personal secretary, Tony Abbott (Charles Grodin).

One of my favourite films of all time. Very nice and makes a change from conflict based media. From Wikipedia: "An aged Henry Van Cleve (Don Ameche) enters the opulent reception area of Hell, to be personally greeted by "His Excellency" (Laird Cregar). Henry petitions to be admitted (fully aware of the kind of life he had led), but there is some doubt as to his qualifications. To prove his worthiness (or rather unworthiness), he begins to tell the story of his dissolute life." I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It is my understanding that this film is now in the public domain which is why I downloaded it in the first place and upload it here, now.

My playing on piano of the love theme from the 1978 fantasy film "Heaven Can Wait". I played this at a slower speed than the original because I think it's more effective that way. Music composed by Dave Grusin The movie starred Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, James Mason, Charles Grodin, Dyan Cannon, Buck Henry, Vincent Gardenia and Jack Warden.
The 4th song on the Iron Maiden album "Somewhere in Time" and was written by Steve Harris. Lyrics: Can't understand what is happening to me, This isn't real, this is only a dream, But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before, I'm looking down on my body below, I lie asleep in the midst of a dream, Is it now could it be that the angel of death has come for me? I can't believe that really my time has come, I don't feel ready, there's so much left undone, And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away. Chorus: Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait til another day. Chorus I have a lust for the Earth below And Hell itself is my only foe, 'Cause I've no fear of dying, I'll go when I'm good and ready, I snatch a glimpse ...

I was livin' for tomorrow
Hangin' on from day to day
Tired of chasin' a dream
That so constantly seemed
To just slip away
Oh, now that I've found a love that's forever
Heaven can wait till then
Oh, at last I can see how sweet love can be
So if it's not too late
Heaven can wait
Life is short, my darlin'
But tomorrow come what may
You are here in my heart
And that's something that no one can take away
Oh, now that I've found a love that's forever
Heaven can wait till then
Oh, at last I can see how sweet love can be
So if it's not too late
Heaven can wait
Oh, now that I've found a love that's forever
Heaven can wait till then
Oh, at last I can see how sweet love can be
So if it's not too late
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
