Maurice dies and arrives in paradise where God immediately asks him for news of the Earth. It seems indeed that things are going badly and that the virtues and sins are not what they were.
Likeable low-key comedy, with a nice line in understated dry humor. The film is composed of seven short stories each illustrating one of the 'sins' of the title, the sins in this case being such things as 'tenderness'. Robert Mitchum is excellent in a relatively small part as a very American God (God smokes big cigars and speaks English; the rest of the dialogue is in French).
Quirky and enjoyable in an understated way.
