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

Very satisfied with packaging, shipping and promptness of delivery. Was also thrilled at the availability of this film.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Near-Perfect
This is one of my very favorite Christmas classics. Though I hadn’t heard of and didn’t see the film until 1980, it immediately joined the ranks of my holiday favorites - at the top of the list. Here’s why:

1. Cary Grant as an angel. This is perfect casting and the elegant Mr. Grant plays Dudley with effortless aplomb and grace. The role was made for him and without him the film would probably not be the classic it is (who else could’ve played an angel and not seemed ridiculous?). … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Bishop’s Wife
This is a great old time movie—it is right up there with its a Wonderful Life, Come to the Stables, etc. They don’t make movies like this anymore.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A CHRISTMAS TREASURE FOR ALL TIME!
During the Christmas season, Dudley, an angel in the guise of a mortal, strolls around a small town and notices Julia Brougham, the bishop’s wife, gazing wistfully through a store window. Dudley follows Julia to a Christmas tree lot, where she meets her old friend, Professor Wutheridge, and expresses her sadness that her husband Henry is too busy worrying about fund raising for a new cathedral to enjoy the season with his parishioners. The professor offers Julia a contribution of an ancient Roman coin … Read More
