When a boxer (Robert Montgomery) is accidentally called to Heaven 50 years before his time, it is up to celestial executive extraordinaire Mr Jordan (Claude Rains) to straighten out the matter. `Here Comes Mr Jordan' was so successful, it inspired a semi-sequel `Down to Earth' which starred Rita Hayworth and was eventually remade in 1978 as `Heaven Can Wait'.

I saw this film once!

A Customer from England, 21st August, 2007

I remember this film from when I was about 14, I don't remember much about it, if anything. But what I do remember is that it might have been brilliant, I also might have hated it. Anyway, to wrap up. If you must see this film, it's a must see! If you're not interested in it, it most probably won't interest you.

Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941)

Lightly entertaining Hollywood romantic comedy, and one of several in the war-torn '40s interested in ideas of life after death or in a state of limbo. Amusing and not overly sentimental, with Claude Rains well cast as the wise celestial being, it is perfect for a bored sunday afternoon if you like '40s movies.

Good; Better Than Remakes

CashOnTheNail from from Manchester, 13th March, 2008

Boxer Robert Montgomery [June Bride] is spared the pain of death by rookie heavenly-messenger Edward Everett Horton [Cold Turkey]. The mistake is discovered too late so Claude Rains [Casablanca] takes charge offering Robert a host of soon-to-be-available bodies. Before Robert can refuse that of a ruthless industrialist he listens to Evelyn Keyes [Nine Girls] request to correct a terrible injustice…

Here comes a fun film

RJNeb2 from , 21st February, 2007

Delightful heavenly fantasy finds boxer Robert Montgomery whisked up to heaven after dying thanks to a clerical mix-up. Demanding to be returned to earth, he encounters the slight problem of his body having been cremated. With a plot that probably doesn't bear up to too much scrutiny, this works as a fine comedic showcase for some dab hand character actors like Claude Rains, James Gleason and Edward Everett Horton, whilst Montgomery comes over really well as the body-jumping hero.
