"Seeing Ernst Lubitsch's Heaven Can Wait was a little like hearing Louis Armstrong at his present best. It brought back a time when people really made good movies...I saw nothing but good, anywhere, in the doll-like selection, manipulation, and performance of the large cast. That does not surprise me in people like Charles Coburn and Louis Calhearn and Laird Cregar, but when you find it also in Don Ameche and Gene Tierney, amazed tribute is due somebody. It is certainly due Lubitsch; and...(I can still hardly believe it) it is due Mr. Ameche and Miss Tierney." -- James Agee (1943).
