Playboy Henry van Cleve (Don Ameche) is waiting in Hell to see whether he can get in or not as he doesn't think Heaven will accept him. Satan (or "His Excellency" played by Laird Cregar) isn't convinced that Van Cleeve belongs in Hell, so Henry tells him the story of his life. Through flashbacks, the story of his life is told from way back when he was born.
Heaven Can Wait is a truly magnificent film - witty at times, but also quite sad. It is in glorious technicolour, making it a visual splendor. Lavish costumes, sets - you name it. They really went out on this one! The content of this film is definitely ahead of its time as it depicts the character's commitment to a partner and a lifetime of promiscuity. Ernst Lubitsch does a fantastic job as director - I would say one of his best films.
Heaven Can Wait is a beautiful film, glorious to see and entertaining to watch. Very beautiful indeed.
