Ultra-awarded (Oscar for Best Production Design) romantic comedy written, directed (jointly with Buck Henry), and starred by Warren Beatty. I believe that among other things, it is a remake, but after all, this idea has been revisited several times in the cinema world. The plot: Joe Pendleton, an American football champion, finds himself in heaven before his time due to a 'mistake' by what would be his guardian angel. Because of this mix-up, he is given the chance to return to life, but he must do so in a body different from his, which, in the meantime, has been cremated. A brilliant comedy that was a huge success at the time and perhaps still works today despite the passing years and a style that is definitely very much from the seventies.
