That one is Heaven Can Wait, remade with Warren Beatty in the 70's

Is it Down by Law?

Yes yes, I'm ahead of time I know, but I'm guessing that Zelda will soon be posting a Jarmusch still.

RICH PLAYBOY???? He's a poet (okay, so he has a day job as well). And he doesn't die. But he should have. The records say so. And that's the problem.

It is on the face of it a love story, but it's so much more than that. And the visual creative style of Michael Powel shines through. And Emeric Pressberger's dialogue is wonderful as well. And the swap from colour to mono-chrome is handled so brilliantly.... CURSES. It's too late for me to watch the DVD now.

well, i couldn't find precisely the image i hoped for, but i suppose it's for the best, it would have been a dead giveaway. so try this one :

When you said rich playboy it sparked in my head. The original with Don Ameche and Gene Tierney is fantastic, the remake with Warren Beaty is nowher near as good

It's Cary Grant, but the image isn't jumping out at me. I'm going to take a wild guess and say 'Mr Blandings Bulds His Dream House'??
