Dark Comedy, 18 February 2001
Author: Matthew Ignoffo (mermatt@webtv.net) from Eatontown, NJ, USA

In HERE COMES MR. JORDAN, Claude Rains played an angel. Here he gets to play the opposite end of the game -- the role every actor loves to play, Satan. He is wry, menacing, and delicious as the master of evil who has met his match in a hood played wonderfully by Paul Muni. The story is interesting and the acting is first rate. See this one if you get the chance.
