The Bishop's Wife
Henry Koster / US, 1947 / 109 min.
This Christmas classic is a funny, divine comedy featuring Cary Grant as an angel sent to earth to help a bishop (David Niven) and his wife (Loretta Young) collect money for their church. The powerful, handsome angel proves to have a hidden agenda.
Christmas is drawing near, yet yuletide cheer is absent from the Victorian home of young bishop Henry Brougham. While he works tirelessly to collect the funds for a new cathedral, the obsessed clergyman neglects his wife Julia. Only divine intervention can save their marriage. Dudley, who was sent from above, introduces himself as the bishop’s new assistant and gets to work right away, however a new cathedral is not what Dudley has in mind. The powerful, handsome angel has a hidden agenda.
