    As soon as the young male protagonist opened his mouth, I fell in love with him! I love Lubitsch! I love Frank Capra! I love Billy Wilder! I want to go back to Hollywood in the 40s and 50s, because you are the cliché ancestors of modern love! I'm going to put on my dancing shoes and dance a never ending waltz in front of a gorgeous fake...

    Merry all his life was also taken by his beloved wife to the death. He would not take his lover seriously if he took such a man too seriously. Lubitz's lines are still very smart and funny, but I don't feel anything after reading it overall. The criteria for judging heaven and hell are also double standards... PS If this is remade, I feel that Ben McKenzie can directly play the male...

    The 1940 film, the classic is worthy of being a classic - a person looks back on his life - how happy it is for a woman to be loved so deeply, and she knows how to be confused at the right time....

    It should be the first color feature film I have seen, and the content is also very warm. A rich man talked about his warm and comfortable life. Comedy and fantasy are very light, more reflecting the changes in the world. At that time, the values ​​of the old-style western family and the big family in China were highly consistent. For example, the teachers were strict, the daughter was ashamed of elopement, the children were forbidden to play, and they intervened to find a wife. It was just...

    The whole film produced a mood of twilight years, mixed with open-mindedness and helplessness. This may be an aesthetic dissolution of Lubitsch's death in the world. Therefore, the romantic atmosphere and structural design are interpreted with more than delicacy and lack of enthusiasm. The retrospective of the main story seems to be old-fashioned, but it is actually wonderful, even if the later classics such as "How Beautiful Life" or "Wild Strawberry" are actually not able to go further than...

    Lubitsch teaches you how to flirt with girls, talk shit, poach, and coax your wife. The skills are still meticulous, but Lubitz still can't (unwilling) to discuss anything other than emotional and morality, and he doesn't understand. (Lubitsch rarely puts the background of the story in the United States, which is the first time in my impression, although this New York is just an empty...

Heaven Can Wait quotes

  • Henry Van Cleve: [regarding How to Make Your Husband Happy] Don't buy this book. You don't need it. I'll tell you something more appropriate for you: Leave Your Nest And Fly Away With Me.

    Martha: Well, I might buy that book too...

    Henry Van Cleve: Well, we don't have it in stock right now... but I'd love to discuss the idea with you...

  • Martha: If you don't change your attitude, I shall have to complain to your employer.

    Henry Van Cleve: I'm not employed here. I'm not a book salesman. I took one look at you and followed you into the store. If you'd walked into a restaurant, I would have become a waiter. If you'd walked into a burning building, I would have become a fireman. If you'd walked into an elevator, I would have stopped it between two floors and we'd have spent the rest of our lives there. Please forgive me but you can't walk out of my life like that.
