The Bishop's Wife (1947)
I've never been aware of this film, but Mrs Isaiah has always been on at me to watch it. It was on TV this morning so gave it a watch, and I have to say it was utterly fantastic.
Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven are wonderful in it. David Niven playing a bishop trying to raise money for a cathedral and prays for help. An angel called Dudley in the form of Cary Grant comes down to help matters and lives.
Got to be one of the best Christmas films I've seen. It came out a year after it's a wonderful life and has similar themes, however Ive never liked wonderful life, this though is just beautiful. If you haven't seen it, give it a watch. Tis the season x
