Rena M @Bibiana554 6h This film was sweet, wholesome, and humorous. In it, a bishop wants to build a cathedral for his own glory as much as God's-resulting in him neglecting his family. An angel comes into his life, transforming his family and friends-and teaching him what REALLY matters in life. Besides excellent acting, the movie also contains some beautiful music and skate dance performances. Whether or not one believes in angels, this is a charming film that any age viewer can enjoy.

I loved this film as it's such a simple story concept with morals and a great cast. You don't get films like this any more. See more Christine V Dec 29 This is among the most joy filled and inspiring films ever made. We begin every Christmas season by watching this film and cannot imagine Christmas without it. Solid gold cast with Cary Grant, Loretta Young, David Niven, Monty Woolley, James Gleason, Gladys Cooper and Elsa Lanchester. The well written script incorporates the importance of kindness, faith, and charity along with moments of humor—all without being schmaltzy. The superb set design draws the viewer into the rooms with the characters. Great film! A Christmas classic! See more Gary K Dec 24 This film is absolutely my new Christmas favorite. Everything about it was delightful and inspirational, and the splendid cast told a beautiful story about faith, love, and what is most important to remember during the holiday season. The humor and pathos, alike, are handled with skill and imagination. The cozy restaurant interlude; the thrilling ice skating antics; and bittersweet drawing room scenes all contribute, in parts, to produce a remarkable film of charm and humor, and also poignancy. I loved everything about this film. Never was there a more dapper and capable angel than Cary Grant, nor a lovelier leading lady than Loretta Young in this sensitive and whimsical essay on the spirit of love and redemption. Five stars for this one. The Bishop's Wife lifted me up with light and happiness, every bit as much as It's A Wonderful Life sustained my belief that faith and goodness will always prevail. This movie is the best kind of Christmas gift that one could ask for. See more Scott W 06/30/2024 A great rom-com from the Golden age of Hollywood. No one has ever been as elegant as Cary Grant.
