What Heaven Can Wait Is About
A newly dead man presents himself at the gates of hell and asks to be admitted, then recounts his life to prove he deserves it. Worth saying first: this has nothing to do with the Warren Beatty film of the same name from 1978. Ernst Lubitsch builds everything on that confession, and the sins the man relates with such relish turn out to be thoroughly ordinary. The elegance is there: what is described is not the wickedness of a life but its averageness.
