Summary: 4 Stars
Let me preface my review by saying "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" is a very good film that falls short of classic status. By all means see this film because it's better than most. Robert Montgomery is terrific as the sax-playing pugilist who left his earthly body before his time. Claude Rains is sublimely suave as Mr. Jordan. Another bonus is terrific turns by character actors Edward Everett Horton and James Gleason as Montgomery's "guardian" angel and manager, respectively. Evelyn Keyes, however, is somewhat bland as the requisite love interest. The script is full of colorful twists that keeps you consistently engaged. Where I do think the film falls short is the uninspired direction by Alexander Hall. Whereas the action on screen should jump out at us it seems inert and stagnant at times. This film demanded a better director. I can only imagine what a Hawks, Sturges, or Capra could have done with this impeccable cast and material.Movie Review: Classic told many times
Summary: 4 Stars
There have been several movie versions of this play told over the years to include HEAVEN CAN WAIT MR. JORDAN starring Warren Beatty (also a good story). But this Academy Award winning film sets itself apart from the others in that it's done simply. There are no huge special effects and as told, there's no need. Who better to be a bungling angel than Edward Everett Horton and the comic genious of James Gleason once again comes through. The smooth, always calm demeanor of Claude Rains directs the story to it's proper ending.
It is definitely a good family feel-good movie.
Movie Review: Mixed emotions right at the end.
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first saw this film as a boy on TV, I loved it almost right up to the end. I came away depressed and spiritually moved at the same time. As a grown man when I watched it again, I came up with the same impression. It's that bit about Joe ending up with no memory of who he was. Don't get me wrong, I still love this film....Just not that part of the story. Of course the spiritial love ending would have never worked any other way. Sigh.
