Beatty's Touchdown
Warren Beatty plays the lead as an absolute darling of a man. His character befuddles a superlatively funny supporting cast, all clearly empowered by a script that's equally rich in hilarity, eloquence, and heart.

"Warren Beatty vetää maksajuustoherapirtelöitä, pelaa jefua, soittaa sopraanosaksofoonia ja kuolee ennen aikojaan. Taivaallisessa odotusaulassa käy ilmi, että hän todella on kuollut ennen aikojaan, ekaa viikkoa kuoleman vassalina toimivan töhön töhöiltyä.

"23/2/17 Warren Beatty's remake of Here Comes Mr Jordon is a delightful light comedy about a football player who dies too soon and so is given his life back but in the form of a hated millionaire. A terrific supporting cast helps this zip along with joy and Dave Grusin's score helps with the general mood. One of Beatty's best films."
