4/10
John Williams return isn't a promising one.
23 November 2019
Famed mystery and suspense writer Alexander Penn Arlington finds himself in heaven after the shocking revelation that he was murdered over his assumption that he had a heart attack. Arlington talks with his recording angel Wilfred and the two come to an agreement that he can return to earth to live out his last day to discover who murdered him and why?. The question however isn't why but who as Williams plays such a cocky stuck up a** that its hard to imagine he wasn't murdered long before, the revelation of the perpetrator is pretty weak, the only sorta saving grace is the fact that Williams himself admits in the end that he was an a** and doesn't understand how he made it to heaven in the first place, the response to that is sadly even more stupid. I was more interested when Amanda Blake showed up in a rare appearance outside of Gunsmoke then anything else. However, the opening scene of John Williams riding into heaven on a cloud dressed in full angel get up (i.e. wings & harp) maybe one of the funniest things ever.
