Wow it’s been a really long time since I last wrote about boxing film. You know most of the boxing films are quite tense and drama. Mostly there are quite sad because all the boxers’ lives aren’t that smooth. They had to get through some really tough time. But the movie I’m going to encourage you to watch is totally different. This boxer will make you laugh.
Here Comes Mr. Jordan is a hilarious comedy film. The story was adapted by Sidney Buchman and Seton I. Miller from the play “Heaven Can Wait” by Harry Segall. The film was directed by Alexander Hall and stars Robert Montgomery, Evelyn Keyes and Claude Rains. Basically the movie is about a boxer who’s accidentally brought to heaven before his time, so he gets another chance to go back on Earth.
You know what, you are going to love this movie. It’s an old classic boxing film might be hard to find but it now can be purchased in DVD and maybe you can rent it at Blockbuster. The movie got the quality! You might think that the original play “Heaven Can Wait” is better. You gotta admit most people tend to think that the original is always better. But after you watch this one, that will go beyond you. I really think they both are great.
