The Bishop's Wife

A Christmas perennial from 1947, this comedy/fantasy stars Cary Grant as Dudley, an undercover angelic visitor who works his heavenly magic on an Episcopalian bishop (David Niven) who is struggling to raise money for a new church, and who has grown distant from his wife (Loretta Young). By the time the angel reveals himself, the bishop is humbled and has learned more about himself and true devotion.

"First Viewing Plot: A debonair angel comes to Earth to help an Episcopalian bishop and his wife in their quest to raise money for the new church. I've honestly felt guilty about not liking some of the traditional old Christmas movies so far this December, but I'm determined to seek out more of them. Thankfully, The Bishop's Wife did not disappoint me in the least; here's a charming, old-fashioned Christmas drama with wonderful actors (Cary Grant is one of the most charismatic actors in history"

" Director: Henry Koster His 20th movie My 4th movie watched from the director An iconic role for Cary Grant and Loretta Young's best role. It's a delightful example of 1940s saccharine cinema, and one I've had on my list to watch for about 20 years, crazy!
