June 28 1978 

HEAVEN CAN WAIT opens. Directed by  Warren Beatty and Buck Henry, from a screenplay by Beatty and Elaine May. Based on Harry Segall's  play filmed in 1941 as Here Comes Mr. Jordan. A clerical error in heaven gives Beatty's prematurely deceased pro footballer a second life in the body of a millionaire businessman. Whimsical, near perfect '30s style fantasy souffle with Charles Grodin and Dyan Cannon in hilarious, scene stealing performances. Also staring Julie Christie, James Mason and Jack Warden.
