HEAVEN CAN WAIT (1978)

THANKS TO [email protected] FOR THE INFORMATION:
Joe Pendleton is a football quarterback, who hasn't been playing a lot because of injuries. But now it appears he has fully recovered and the coach wants to make him the starting quarterback. But he goes out one day and an accident occurs and the next thing he knows he is on his way to heaven. But he convinces the man in charge, Mr. Jordan. that he isn't suppose to be here and upon checking Mr. Jordan discovers that he is right and tries to get him back into his body but his body has been cremated. Mr. Jordan tells him that they can put him in another man's body provided that the man's death has not been discovered. Now Mr. Jordan shows him the body of Leo Farnsworth, who has just been killed by his wife and secretary. Joe doesn't want to take Farnsworth's body until a woman, Betty Logan who has a problem with what Farnsworth's business is doing to her home, insists on meeting him. Now Joe's taken with her and would like to help her but can only do it if he assumes Farnsworth's identity. And he does but unfortunately still acts like himself which perplexes everyone who knows Farnsworth especially his wife and secretary who are sure that they killed him and are on the edge of their seats wondering what he is going to do.
