Heaven Can Wait
Dir.: Ernst Lubitsch | 112 minutes

Heaven Can Wait

USA 1943 | 112 minutes | English, French | Hebrew subtitles

Standing before the gates of hell, recently deceased Henry Van Cleve has to convince the devil that he is worthy to enter. The playboy relates his colorful life story, reviewing the many women he has been with and particularly his long and stormy marriage to Martha. This witty 1943 comedy by Ernst Lubitsch- the great director behind Ninotchka, To Be or Not to Be and other classics- was nominated for three Oscars, including Best Director and Best Picture. Over the years, Heaven Can Wait – Lubitsch's only film in color – has earned the status of a timeless classic that gracefully combines romance, biting satire and a spectacular Technicolor celebration.
