HEADING FOR HEAVEN(1947)
A man has some land that a developer wants to
build an airport on! He doesn't want to sell as
his ancestors have always had a dream of making
a housing development on it! The man gets things
confused at his doctors visit, and he decides
that he needs to change his ways! C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Stuart Erwin is a hen-pecked husband and father,
the latest heir to a section of land that ends
up part of a plot for real estate fraud. Wife
Glenda Farrell has a yen for seances, and is
used by a fake swami to swindle her for her
naivete. Other townsfolk want to get their
hands on Erwin's land for various reasons
(the bank to invest in it for a dump; a land
developer to build an airport), but as fate
has it, Erwin ends up being presumed dead
(believing he is dying anyway) and uses this
as an opportunity to expose the swami and
shake things up for the other townspeople
who are exploiting him. The situation is
amusing but not hysterically funny, although
"Beverly Hillbillies'" Irene Ryan does offer
laughs as the housekeeper who constantly
threatens to quit every time the bird in
the clock she passes comes out to announce
"Koo Koo!". As for Glenda Farrell, once one
of the best of the 30's "tough girls" at
Warner Brothers, she isn't convincing as
the nagging wife bamboozled by a con-artist.
The result of the film is fairly routine but
a step above other "Z" grade poverty row
comedies. - mark.waltz
