Ginger Rogers Film Clips From Heartbeat - Love & Romance Heading for Heaven is a quaint and amiable comedy about small town life. Stuart Erwin (Our Town), a congenial everyman, became a Hollywood star portraying small town characters and his role in Heading for Heaven is perfect for him. Erwin is a realtor with a loving family who overhears his doctor saying Erwin has three months to live. While Erwin is off rediscovering himself, his family comes to believe he’s taken his own life in distress. Throughout all this deathly subject matter, the film proffers plenty of jokes and gags to keep the tone light and fun. But what really gets the chuckles are the well constructed absurd coincidences, like Erwin happening to show up while his spirit is being invoked by a swami. Ridiculous, engaging, and downright fun, Heading for Heaven is vintage family entertainment.
