Here Comes Mr. Jordan
A picture different from anything ever screened before!
Directed by Alexander Hall
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A whimsical screwball fantasy about a boxer given a second chance at life in another man's body, blending celestial intervention with romantic comedy and moral redemption.
Boxer Joe Pendleton, flying to his next fight, crashes...because a Heavenly Messenger, new on the job, snatched Joe's spirit prematurely from his body. Before the matter can be rectified, Joe's body is cremated; so the celestial Mr. Jordan grants him the use of the body of wealthy Bruce Farnsworth, who's just been murdered by his wife. Joe tries to remake Farnsworth's unworthy life in his own clean-cut image, but then falls in love; and what about that murderous wife?
