Perhaps if The Bishop's Wife had lapsed on its copyright and fallen into the public domain like It's a Wonderful Life, it would be as much a Christmas staple as that classic. It certainly deserves to be. Dudley (Cary Grant) is an angel sent down by the prayers of a new bishop (David Niven). The bishop is trying to build a new cathedral, and he's so entrenched in his fundraising that he's watching his own marriage crumble around him. Loretta Young is devoted, moist-eyed, and basically a great date for the tempted Dudley. They drink in the afternoon, go skating at night, and make impulse buys. The skating sequence beats mightily on one's suspension of disbelief, but the rest of the film is an absolute joy. Grant is suave, worldly, and enchanting. A wonderful present for anyone who has not seen it. --Keith Simanton

This classic story will always appeal to the heart and soul. In its charming and gentle way, it reveals the true road to happiness. It values are gently interwoven into the fabric of the film. Being a black and white buff, I feel it allows you to be drawn in to the characters and their human struggles with this world. Brillently casted, this marvelous piece of art will allow you to escape into a world that enriches your soul.

What a pity it is that films such as this are virtually unthinkable in contemporary culture. Explicitly Christian but not preachy or sectarian, it offers a universal message as appropriate at Christmas as any other time. The galaxy of stars (Young, Grant, Niven) and excellent supporting cast are used to great advantage. Goldwyn had thought of Niven in what became the Grant role, but Grant wisely persuaded him to cast it in its present form. 'Heartwarming' is the word that most quickly comes to ... Read More

Excellent movie. Classic Cary Grant movie with Cary playing the one who DOESN'T get the woman in the end. Nice movie.

I had read about Cary Grant starring in this picture but didn't know what it was about. This was a wonderfully acted picture with David Niven as the busy, worried Bishop and Loretta Young as his lovely but ignored wife. Enter Cary Grant and wonderful things began to happen. I didn't realize the picture was set around Christmas time, and that added to the significance of the events.
All and all, a keeper!

Be prepared to snuggle up watching this Christmas movie. Cary Grant plays an angel sent down to earth to help out. His ways, however, are not always so divine as he falls for the bishop's wife. The story is heartwarming and funny and it's a great movie to watch at Christmas time. David Niven and Loretta Young round off this great cast.
