"The last masterwork by Ernst Lubitsch--whose other gems include Trouble in Paradise, Lady Windermere's Fan, Ninotchka, and The Shop Around the Corner--Heaven Can Wait was nominated for best picture and director Oscars in its day but largely neglected thereafter. Partly it's a matter of no one expecting a 1943 Fox movie featuring Don Ameche, the star of so many bland Technicolor musicals at that studio, to be a comedy of rare loveliness. ..."
"Alberta Marlow isn't looking for wealth. "I can do without it," she says. "You stick around with me and you're going to get plenty of practice, " Rick Leland replies. She also gets plenty of danger and intrigue, because Humphrey Bogart plays U.S. counterspy Rick in this crisply written wartime thriller. "The part is a combination of acid and comedy, a bit like his role in The Maltese Falcon," long-time studio insider Robert Lord said ..."

"This is a new way of theological inquiry that embraces both the humanlike characteristics of God and the transcendence of God in traditional theology."
"Based on extensive research, the book also contains a wealth of information on earlier six guns, including the famous Colts, & the role they played in the turbulent history of pioneer days in Texas."
"Special effects took a clever step forward with the release of Paramount's Dr. Cyclops in 1940. This wasn't the first movie to deal with the miniaturization of human beings (The Bride of Frankenstein and The Devil Doll addressed the issue earlier), but it was the first to devote its visual effects to depicting the dangers of being tiny in a full-scale world. Introducing themes and images that would later be perfected in The Incredibl ..."
