Der Himmel soll warten (1978)
Irrtum im Jenseits: Der Football-Star Joe Pendleton wird aus Versehen 50 Jahre zu früh aus seinem irdischen Dasein abberufen und legt beim Erzengel Mr. Jordan tödlich beleidigt Protest ein. Nach Prüfung des peinlichen Falles muss man im Himmel den Fehler eingestehen und Joe die Rückkehr zur Erde gestatten. Doch nach erfolgter Beerdigung geht dies natürlich nicht in Joes alter körperlicher Hülle ... So schlüpft er in die Gestalt des reichen Geschäftsmanns Mr. Farnsworth, der passenderweise soeben von seiner geldgierigen Gattin und deren Liebhaber ins Jenseits befördert wird. Doch damit fangen die wirklich himmlischen Verwicklungen und Schwierigkeiten gerade erst an ...
