PARADISE THEATRE presents HEAVEN CAN WAIT

“I fell asleep without realizing it. And when I awakened, there were all my relatives speaking in low tones and saying nothing but the kindest things about me. Then I knew I was dead.”

THIS FEBRUARY- We're calling all Valentines to join us in Paradise for love stories that will take you to another dimension... The Paradise Presents: LOVE AFTER LIFE- six films that explore the existential matters of love beyond earthly existence.

HE BELIEVED IN LOVE ... HONOR ... AND OBEY- THAT IMPULSE! What the afterlife really needed- was the Lubitschian touch! We are starting our series with the seminal romantic comedy about heaven, hell, and the ties that bind. Starring Don Ameche and Gene Tierney, The Paradise Presents Ernst Lubitsch's glorious technicolor production of 1943's HEAVEN CAN WAIT!

Deceased playboy Henry Van Cleve (Don Ameche) presents himself to the outer offices of Hades, where he asks a bemused Satan for permission to enter through the gates of hell. Though the devil doubts that Henry’s sins qualify him for eternal damnation, Henry proceeds to recount a lifetime of wooing and pursuing women, his long, happy marriage to Martha (Gene Tierney) notwithstanding. Ernst Lubitsch’s Heaven Can Wait, nominated for Academy Awards for best picture and director, is an enduring classic that showcases the filmmaker’s trademark blend of wit, urbanity, and grace.
