Heavens Above!

Although very witty in places I found this a bit tiresome and dated.

Another British film turning the world upside down to show that workers and employers are best having things exactly as they are ....

"Heavens Above!" is the story of Jesus Christ II in the form of John Smallwood (Peter Sellers). The film is filled with symbolisms and is a little too self-serious, but offers some laughs, good acting (Sellers, Cecil Parker, Bernard Miles) and the classic gag of Sellers accidentally tripping into a grave. Overall, it's an enjoyable if not particularly special little film that would probably have been better if it had left the preaching aside.
