An Episcopal Bishop, Henry Brougham, has been working for months on the plans for an elaborate new cathedral which he hopes will be paid for primarily by a wealthy, stubborn widow. He is losing sight of his family and of why he became a churchman in the first place. Enter Dudley, an angel sent to help him. Dudley does help everyone he meets, but not necessarily in the way they would have preferred. With the exception of Henry, everyone loves him, but Henry begins to believe that Dudley is there to replace him, both at work and in his family's affections, as Christmas approaches.
Leave your thoughts about The Bishop's Wife.
| Entertainment WeeklyCaren Weiner CampbellGrant's turn is thoroughly convincing because he himself appears to be having a terrific time: He's expansive, graceful, and seems always on the verge of chuckling with goodwill. |
| TIME MagazineJames AgeeIt is a big, slick production. The only thing it lacks is taste. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashThis is a decent enough movie, well worth a watch, but it falls short of being a true classic. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThere must be some excuse for this but I can't imagine what it is. |
| New York TimesWalter GoodmanWhatever you make of the minor miracles performed along the way, there's no trouble believing that Cary would fall for Loretta or that anybody would fall for Cary. |
| VarietyVariety StaffWhile a fantasy, there are no fantastic heavenly manifestations. There's a humanness about the characters, even the angel, that beguiles full attention. |
| User ReviewLori SMy favorite Christmas movie. I watch it all year. |
| User ReviewCaleb LUplifting and thoroughly heartwarming holiday fun! Cast is wonderful, script is imaginative, and it leaves you feeling just as renewed as the characters in the story. THE BISHOP'S WIFE is a classic. |
| User ReviewLisa BMyeh, not bad for a Christmas movie. I just liked how Cary Grant messed with David Niven. |
| User ReviewDebbie CCharming! Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young are so well cast here and the story is another "feel good" story. You have to believe it.... Cary Grant is perfectly cast as an Angel. |
