Here Comes Mr. Jordan
“A picture different from anything ever screened before!”
Synopsis
Boxer Joe Pendleton, en route to his next fight, is involved in a crash due to a Heavenly Messenger, who is new to his duties, prematurely removing Joe's spirit from his body. Before the situation can be corrected, Joe's body is cremated, prompting the celestial Mr. Jordan to allow him to inhabit the body of wealthy Bruce Farnsworth, who has recently been murdered by his wife. Joe attempts to transform Farnsworth's flawed life into one that reflects his own values, but complications arise when he falls in love, and the issue of the murderous wife remains unresolved.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 19
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
