The Bishop's Wife (1947)

We’re just ho-ho-hoeing along during this Christmas movie season and Mondays are often devoted to that period of film we call “the classics” and today we’re going for that Carey Grant razzle dazzle as we sit down to discuss one of his most charismatic performances in Henry Koster’s 1947 film “THE BISHOP’S WIFE” starring Grant as the angel Dudley who comes into the lives of a Bishop and his wife played by David Niven and Loretta Young after a prayer of guidance. It takes some convincing but the Bishop comes to accept that Dudley really is an angel but holy smokes this angel has been hanging out with his wife A LOT. She sure doesn’t smile for the Bishop like that. They’re going on all the dates the Bishop is too busy for. This Dudley has the whole parish fully razzed up. Is the Bishop gonna have to get like Jacob and throw down with this Angel or will his prayer be answered in ways he didn’t expect? Gee, I wonder what happens. It’s Hayes code so they definitely get into a three way. A very charming flick with some Gregg Toland cinematography and we got a link for you right here: https://archive.org/details/the-bishops-wife-1947-christmas-classic Subscribe to us on YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuJf3lkRI-BLUTsLI_ehOsg Contact us here: [e-mail] Check our past & current film ratings here: https://moviehumpers.wordpress.com Hear us on podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6o6PSNJFGXJeENgqtPY4h7 Our OG podcast “Documenteers”: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/documenteers-the-documentary-podcast/id1321652249 Soundcloud feed: https://soundcloud.com/documenteers Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/culturewrought
