Pendleton is returned to earth in the body of another man, who is a corporate giant.

I love this movie. I watched this as a young boy when it came out. Was not expecting such a GREAT movie when I went to see it. It touched my heart and I have watched this over 100 times since 78. I still say this is my favorite movie of all time. Warren needs to make a Heaven Can Wait Two.

It touches your heart. And it wouldn't hurt to have some tissue with you if you watch it. It's worth watching.

This movie was so hard to find anywhere-- I'm so glad I found it on Google!
