THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER - THE BISHOPS WIFE

The 1947 film “The Bishop's Wife” Tells the tale of an Episcopal Bishop, Henry Brougham played by David Niven, who has been working for months on the plans for a new cathedral paid for by a selfish and stubborn widow Mrs. Hamilton, (Gladys Cooper).
As a result he begins to lose sight of his wife, Julia, (Loretta Young) and family and of why he joined the church in the first place.
So Dudley, an angel, played by Cary Grant, is sent to help him.
Dudley help’s everyone he meets, but not always in the way they would have chosen.
None the less everyone liked Dudley except Henry.
As Christmas approaches Henry begins to believe that Dudley is there to replace him, at work, and in his family’s affections.
A gem of a movie.
