This 1941 comedy is about a heavyweight boxer (Robert Montgomery) who dies a very untimely death – so untimely that it wasn’t supposed to occur, which results in him being reincarnated in the body of a recently deceased multi-millionaire. If the plot sounds familiar, maybe that’s because Warren Beatty remade it as Heaven Can Wait in 1978, casting himself in the starring role, and changing the athlete from boxer to pro quarterback.
