I guess my first impression of the movie was how different it is from typical 1940s flicks. It has a different spirit about it (literally). Can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the storyline, or the actors....I'll figure it out. Anyhow, I can see how it was nominated (and won) the Oscars it did.
James Gleason was a joy to watch - almost better than Edward Everett Horton, who had a smaller part than I would have thought. Makes me want to go watch Arsenic & Old Lace again...
I loved the movie. I hate to admit it, but I felt a little teary-eyed at the end. What's the word I want to use...heartwarming?
And no, I have no interest in watching the remakes of this story!

Don't worry....I get teary-eyed too.;)
And Warren Beatty should be pelted with heavy stones for that Heaven Can Wait mess. I've never seen it, nor do I ever intend to. I wonder what Bob thought of it though.
P.S.
You should check out Bob's Myspace again. A few more comments have been added since last you looked...and they're rather amusing.;p
i actually like all the versions of this movie! even the chris rock one. it shows you how adaptable the story is for any era.
(i just lost a whole bunch of cool points, huh? hah.)
I had no clue there was a Chris Rock version....I still think Quantum Leap stole the idea for their TV show
yeah, it's called down to earth. it's probably not worth a rental if you're not interested, though.
hey, they did! just threw in some science and more sets.
