One of our "must see" Christmas titles
When the Christmas season rolls around, my wife goes absolutely nuts over holiday films. Fortunately, there are a few I tend to watch every year, and convincing my wife to watch them isn't much of a task at all. For years, I've insisted on watching The Bishop's Wife, and can't help but think this... Read full review »

The Bishop's Wife (1947)
This is one for Bruguru's Christmas in July Write-off.
If you're ever feeling a little down, one of these old Cary Grant movies is just the prescription to get you feeling in tip top form once again. Cary was one of the guys who truly could make magic on...

Bishop's over Preacher's (Wife) 5:1
I watched this movie to see the original version of the movie (THE PREACHER'S WIFE) starring Whitney Houston, and Denzel Washington. While I enjoyed that movie a little, it was a pale second to the original which has the advantage of Cary Grant as Dudley, and David Niven as the stressed out... Read full review »
Henry Koster?s The Bishop?s Wife (1947)
With Christmas fast approaching, it is the time of year when I start to focus more and more on holiday films. Fortunately, TCM is more than happy to provide an endless supply of Christmas offerings this month, which is what led me to The Bishop’s Wife. Surprisingly, I had never seen the Cary...

Cary Grant Patches Lives and Steals Hearts in The Bishop's Wife
I was in high school when The Preacher's Wife hit theaters. Though I'd wanted to see it back then, I didn't get around to it until this year. My mom, meanwhile, had been hearing good things about The Bishop's Wife, on which the former is based, so once I kicked off my Christmas movie watching with... Read full review »
Heaven Can Wait!
Even though it does not come close to capturing the Christmas spirit as its contemporary, It's a Wonderful Life, The Bishop's Wife does have some charming parts to it. Not withstanding the fact it won Best Picture in 1947, I felt the story went a bit slow.
David Niven (quite young...

The Bishop's Wife (1947)
"The Bishop's Wife" is a heartwarming, feel-good Christmas fantasy. Its moral is to treasure friends and family; giving generously of one's time and money in the place of career ambition. Made the year after "It's a Wonderful Life", it has a similar feel, and even some of the same cast (most... Read full review »
A must see, anytime of the year.
I am a big fan of Christmas movies and find this to be one of the best of all of them. Yet is really a great flick for any time of the year. Loretta Young and Cary Grant have so much chemistry between them. There is also an innocence and sweetness that keeps you smiling all through the movie. This... Read full review »
Cary Grant an angel sent to help out the stressed David Niven.
One of the great hidden-treasure movies, though not so hidden as people keep discovering it and re-discovering it.Cary Grant's most subtle, elegant and heart-felt performance.It isn't sentimental,or corny, and it vibrates with fervent feeling and charm and often genuine wit. Loretta Young and David... Read full review »

The Bishop's Wife [VHS]
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
