Oh, God!

“Anybody who could turn Lot's wife into a pillar of salt, incinerate Sodom and Gomorrah and make it rain for forty days and forty nights has got to be a fun guy.”

Jerry Landers (John Denver), an assistant manager at a supermarket, wants a quiet life, a steady job and a wife (Teri Garr) who keeps believing him. Then God (George Burns) turns up as a good-natured old man and picks him to carry a message to the modern world. Carl Reiner keeps it light, and it ends on Burns, small and cheerful in his hat, easy as anyone's grandfather.
