Impossibly charming and deceptively melancholic, Ernst Lubitsch’s Heaven Can Wait is an irresistible portrait of a man’s life painted in the bold hues of Technicolor. After years of chasing women despite being happily married to Martha (Gene Tierney), the newly deceased Henry Van Cleve (Don Ameche) recounts his risqué past to Satan (Laird Cregar) to prove that he deserves to spend eternity in hell. What follows is a string of vignettes that illustrate the elegant wit and sophisticated sexuality that made Lubitsch a filmmaker unlike anyone else.
