Another remake of "Here comes Mr. Jordan"

Hello again. You guys have been really wonderful to find the title of the other
film I couldn't remember. Anyhow, here is another film of which I haven't been able to recall the title.

It is a remake of "Here comes Mr. Jordan", it sounds almost like "The heaven can wait", but, in the film that I am seeking
Spoiler:

1) it is the millionaire who gets into the body of the football player.
2) the fooltball player is a son (or nephew or something) of the millionaire.


Does anyone here know this film please? Thank you very much in advance.

No clue. Considering the limited number of body switch movies, it should be an easy find via Google Search. Can you remember anything else about the movie? Plot details? Approximate release year/decade? etc.

Well, I could add details of plot, but I guess it won't help. On google I only found "The heaven can wait"
and another very recent one so far, but then again, my keywords aren't really good.

It was in color, probably American, and probably in 70's. Certainly before 97.

Neither are exact matches , but how about VICE VERSA or DREAM A LITTLE DREAM.

There's an X-rated version called "Heaven's Touch" with Ron Jeremy. That's probably the one you remember.

Not this one. I saw on a TV, and I am sure I didn't have pay channel at the time.

Of course not, how could knowing more about the plot possibly help us figure out what movie it is.

Down to Earth with Chris Rock is a possibility...

No, because
1) it is too recent
2) in the film I saw, it is
Spoiler:
the millionaire who dies by mistake and gets into the body of young athlete

Sounds a lot like Heaven Can Wait. You sure it isn't that one?

Re: Another remake of "Here comes Mr. Jordan"

No, not that one. In the movie I am looking for, things go the other way round. As I wrote before
Spoiler:
  • It is the millionaire who gets into the body of an athlete
  • They are relatives (father and son or uncle and nephew, I don't remember which)

I remember, for example,
Spoiler:

  • A scene almost at the end where the millionaire fires the secretary who
    seduced the athlete (while he was in the body).
  • There was some sort of intrigue for the control of the enterprise while
    the millionaire was "dead"
  • Somehow the athlete almost got involved in this intrigue

and the first scene wouldn't make sense in the scenario of "Heaven can wait".
Furthermore the millionaire in the movie I am looking for was much older.

Then ending of Heaven Can Wait still bothers me till this day. If you lose your memories and personality you are no longer the same person and are effectively dead.
