    Charming period piece with fantasy bookends; the essence of the piece is its evocation of American society in the 1890s, and in its director's waspish way with a funny scene.

    Very pleasant film

    I remember this from ages ago and so tried it again. It is a good story although a bit twee in places. Some of the 70s haircuts and clothes are a bit dodgy, but the actual film is enjoyable.

    Far better than the recent Chris Rock efforts.

    Heaven did wait!

    If you enjoyed the Warren Beatty version of this film then this is nothing like it!It`s not a bad film but Heaven plays no part,only a small sequence of hell at the beggining and end.The story is simple,a man goes to Hell(Don Amechie)and tells his life story to Satin,some funny moments but overall wasn`t too engrossing and found myself at the end thinking cut to the chase.The moral of the story seems to be....Infidelity is good,but the film it isn`t.If you want Heaven try the Beatty version or Here comes mr Jordan.
