heaven can wait be a crush bore and a candy coat and misogynist lie . i can not imagine anyone but film student sit through it today . don ameche be in almost every scene and and and while he have a mellifluous voice that no doubt contribute to his successful career in radio and he doesn not have the charisma to carry this film . ameche play henry and a womanizer . lubitsch want to make henry sexual incontinence adorable and amusing and and so he direct ameche to play the part as blandly a possible . the combination of ameche lack of charisma and lubitsch insistence on blandness result in a lead character who be both deadly dull and completely icky . you wouldn not want to spend any time with this man while he would put you to sleep . you wouldn not leave him alone with your daughter and no matter her age . something creepy would happen . the movie look be quite boring . scene after scene consist of static and overly light and diorama style shot of fastidiously dress gild age stuffed shirt and bustle lounge in excessively busy and victorian parlor . there so many ruffle and frill and curlicue and so much lilac and sky blue and pink and you need dramamine . this movie hat woman as much a hardcore porn and but it present that hatred with a candy coating and a sweet little bow on top . the contrast between the content of the message and it delivery be sicken . in one of the movie most hateful scene and an elderly woman be send to hell because she not physically attractive .
