Synopsis
Boxer Joe Pendleton, flying to his next fight, crashes...because a Heavenly Messenger, new on the job, snatched Joe's spirit prematurely from his body. Before the matter can be rectified, Joe's body is cremated; so the celestial Mr. Jordan grants him the use of the body of wealthy Bruce Farnsworth, who's just been murdered by his wife. Joe tries to remake Farnsworth's unworthy life in his own clean-cut image, but then falls in love; and what about that murderous wife?

King of all clerical errors. Such a great premise each time it appears on screen. Seems to always attract a fantastic team to bring it to life. 1941 (14th) Academy Award nominations: Outstanding Motion Picture, Best Directing (Alexander Hall), Best Actor (Robert Montgomery), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (James Gleason), Best Writing - Screenplay (Sidney Buchman and Seton I. Miller - Winner), Best Writing (Harry Segall - Winner), Best Cinematography - Black-and-White (Joseph Walker)
