Overview

Cary Grant is at his cutest as a guardian angel, sent to smooth the path for beleaguered Episcopalian bishop David Niven. In praying for divine intervention to finance a new church, Niven probably never expected his prayers to be answered in the form of do-gooder Grant. Nor could Niven foreseen that his lovely wife Loretta Young would be attracted to the ethereal Mr. Grant. It's all quite innocent, of course, and by film's end, Grant has not only drummed up financial aid for Niven's community, but has also patched up the shaky marriage between the bishop and his wife. Based on a novel by Robert Nathan, The Bishop's Wife went through several script treatments and numerous cast changes before reaching the screen. It hardly seems worth all the effort, but the film does provide harmless TV entertainment if you're snowed in on Christmas Eve.
