MCT:October 5, 2008I was unimpressed and bored by this film. Sure, Cary Grant had some "moments" and the idea was good enough but the execution didn't cut it.
-
MCT:September 23, 2008Amusing, entertaining a good christmas movie, whatever they say about Angel Dudley i still like it, well maybe being imperfect just means that even angel can fall in love (oopps should they?) the skating rink scenes is what i love the most. I love Niven and Young too the acting is very subtle but very effective
-
MCT:May 18, 2008Fabulous Christmas classic. Who wouldn't be charmed by Cary Grant, especially when he's an angel (a real one!)

I loved this movie! Cary Grant played an angel, that came to helpe Loretta's husband be thankful for what he had, by changing his attitude!
-
MCT:February 12, 2008So, the movie was just o.k. I thought it was going to be a lot better. It is one of my sister's favorites and I respect her a lot but she and I do have different views on life. The movie was o.k., just o.k.

This is another of those films where you find yourself saying, "Why don't they make them like this anymore?"

This movie was a breath of fresh air. just about the time I was becoming disheartened with all the Christmas movies that highlight chaos and stress, I turn on TCM and was finally introduced to this gem. I had been wanting to see "The Bishop's Wife" for quite some time, and even avoided the remake, "The Preacher's Wife", because I wanted to see the original first. I was pleasantly surprised by it's sweet, simple, subtle charm. A real lesson in what matters most. I can't help but wonder though, if this was also the inspiration for "City Of Angels".

Just a charming old film. Cary Grant was a dreamy angel...If I'd of come across him - he'd have probably lost his wings.

Cary plays an angel to help out a bishop(David Niven)and his wife(Loretta Young)who needs a bit of supreme intervention. nice film usually played during Christmas.

I absolutely adore this movie. Definitely going on the list of my Christmas traditions...and I wish an angel that looked like Cary Grant would come to my aid.
-
MCT:July 5, 2007Charming festive fantasy in which angel Cary Grant comes to earth to the aid of bishop David Niven who has began to question his faith. Spiritual without being preachy, good-natured and amusing, with a fun turn from cantankerous Monty Woolley who gets most of the best lines. Fans of It's A Wonderful Life will enjoy it, and it was remade (badly) as The Preacher's Wife.

lovely cary grant film this is the original the re-make was called the preachers wife with whitney houston which was just as good.

The original version of this simple, sweet story is one of my perennial Christmas favorites. All three leads are expertly cast (despite Niven and Grant having swapped roles before filming!), and the message, while religious, can appeal to everyone. What the remake made saccharine and overt is here presented with a magical sentimentality already ten years out of its era, and this keeps the film light, fresh and for the most part, timeless.

This movie is actually pretty decent. For some reason most people only know of the Whitney Houston remake.....*shudders*.
