I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

There are not enough superlatives for this movie. First of all, the score by Friedholder beautifully underlines the scenes with great poinience. This is a triumph in ensemble acting. There are no minor characters. Everyone shines. Despite a few incongruities, this rates high on my list of favorites.

Angels in the film during Christmas are always welcome. The fact is that they always looks impressive. However, if the presence of the angels you can fit in with other elements, particularly convincing story, there will be a kind of problem.The story in the basics and be sentimental with a clear message. Tall, handsome, charming, charismatic and debonair angel does not fit in this story. THE BISHOP'S WIFE was cheerful and lighthearted film. Very simple and meager story of human spirituality and weaknesses. Needless to analyze what is not working as it should. In life there are a lot nicer than some of the moral, professional or business ideals. Family and friends are the most important things in the world. What a man needs in order to feel fulfilled and happy? Very little. Clear guidelines. Acting could be a lot better.Cary Grant as Dudley is an angel who has a solution for all, compassion for everyone, a warm smile that brightens everyone's heart and love for the bishop's wife. I do not believe in angels, but I believe in Grant's charm.David Niven as Bishop Henry Brougham is closed his eyes. Basically on the deft and funny way of knowing that his goal brings a lot more dissatisfaction than goodness. Do not let your job or profession away from yourself or from the people you love and who love you. A clear message. Loretta Young as Julia Brougham, I agree that it is nice to see a happy and contented woman. However bad acting and characterization destroyed role that had plenty of room in the story.The film is a solid, carries a clear and compelling message, however, is superficial and can cause a feeling of illusion.

Question 1: Is the new Blu Ray edition worth the upgrade? There is somewhat of an improvement; it's a good transfer.This is one of the most charming films ever made. It is a fine Christmas story which can be enjoyed anytime of the year. Its 3 stars do marvelously. This is one of those films where everything pretty much comes together almost perfectly.What I find most interesting about the film is how the story treads a thin line between a romance between the angel (Cary Grant) and the Bishop's wife (Loretta Young) and honest concern and compassion. In fact, the difference is the essence of the film.The skating sequence with Grant, Young, and James Gleason is one of the most delightful film sequences in any film I have ever seen. Of course we know the actors have doubles, but it's such a wonderful series of scenes that we are happily willing to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the joy! The cast here is nigh on perfect. Cary Grant is superb as the angel. He's just sparkling here; it would appear that he really enjoyed the role. I suppose some would think this was an easy role; I'm not so sure it was. He was treading on shifting sands here, and managed it perfectly well.Loretta Young does so nicely as the Bishop's wife, who loves life, loves her husband, but is nearly despondent over the way things are turning out for their marriage as her husband becomes more and more obsessed with his project.David Niven. Well, I'm less impressed with Niven's performance here than with Young's or Grant's, but I'm not sure I can fault him. His was a tough character to like...or dislike, so perhaps my hesitation is with the character, not the performance.In the supporting roles, James Gleason's small role as a taxi driver is, perhaps, the most charming of his career. Monty Woolley is good as "the professor". I always think of Gladys Cooper as one of the outstanding character actresses, and she does not disappoint here as the wealthy donor, although she had other more memorable roles. Elsa Lanchester is very likable as the housekeeper, as is Sara Haden (another one of those familiar faces) as the Bishop's secretary.It's difficult for me to imagine someone not liking this film, unless it's totally outside of their preferred genres. It could have been a much different result. In the beginning, Niven was cast as the angel, Dana Andrews as the bishop, and Teresa Wright as the wife. I can see the latter two working, but I can't see Niven as the angel. No, this one turned out just perfect the way that it finally ended up on screen.

After 20 years of only reading about this movie (I knew it was remade as The Preacher's Wife when that movie came out in 1996, a movie I remember enjoying), I finally got to watch this on Netflix disc. David Niven is a bishop who seems distant from not only his wife-Loretta Young-but also his pre-teen daughter and most of his staff and some neighbors. Cary Grant is an angel named Dudley who automatically charms everyone except Niven-the only one who even knows what he is. I'll stop there and just say this was quite a charming Christmas movie to watch with great scenes of both comedy and drama. I also loved the character turns of Monty Woolley and James Gleason. So on that note, I highly recommend The Bishop's Wife. P.S. Since It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite movie, I always like to cite when players from that one appear in other films. In this case, Karolyn Grimes-Zuzu in IAWL-plays the daughter Debby, Bobbie Anderson-Little George Bailey-plays one of the boys who torments Debby in the snowfight scene, and Sarah Edwards-Mary Hatch's mother-plays an organist.
