Rating: 5/5 --
Mitchell Leisen's surprisingly complex (especially with its brief 79 minute running time) film has proven itself immune to both time and remakes.

In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.

Rating: 6/10 --
The real visual treats in Death Takes a Holiday, however, come from the art decoration by Hans Dreier and Ernst Fegté.

Fredric March plays Death as if he thought he might possibly be Dracula; and he intones all his words with an awesome, old-Shakespearian-actor solemnity. Evelyn Venable is contrastingly starry-eyed and vernal as his love.

Death...as a house guest that can't be gotten rid of

A lofty but transfixing allegory, the film remains captivating because its central plot device is so different from most movies, then or now.

Product Description:
In this fanciful allegory, Death, bored with his somber job, visits Earth in the guise of a handsome prince. While all living creatures enjoy a mysterious respite from death, the Reaper falls in love with a beautiful Italian, then agonizes over revealing his true identity. Remade for TV in 1971 and again as Meet Joe Black (with Brad Pitt as Death) in 1998.
