Well the movie is "Heaven Can Wait" with Warren Beatty and it was a remake of an even older classic "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" (1941) ('is a comedy film in which a boxer, mistakenly taken to Heaven before his time, is given a second chance back on Earth. It stars Robert Montgomery, Claude Rains and Evelyn Keyes. The movie was adapted by Sidney Buchman and Seton I. Miller from the play Heaven Can Wait by Harry Segall. It was directed by Alexander Hall.') Also it was remade again with Chris Rock in 2001 it is called "Down To Earth" I have not seen that version but I heard it does not live up to the prior two.
