Heaven Can Wait is a sweet story about a mischievous man (Don Ameche) whose death prompts him to arrive at the gates of hell. Although the man is enthusiastic about his admittance and his supposedly doomed life, the receptionist is not so sure. Thus ensues the tale of his life. It begins with plenty of trouble, but basically good deeds done on his part and ends in happiness with his beautiful wife (Gene Tierney).

This story is simple but highly enjoyable. The acting is subtle but effective and the actors are all likable, even the imperfect characters. This is a perfect example of a quality family film of yesteryear filled with humor and feeling.
