When Episcopalian bishop Henry Brougham (
David Niven) prays for divine guidance in his efforts to raise the necessary funds for a new cathedral, his prayers are answered in the form of a handsome, personable guardian angel named Dudley (
Cary Grant). Establishing himself as a Yuletide guest in the Brougham home, Dudley arouses the ire of Henry, who, unaware that his visitor is from Up Above, assumes that Dudley has designs on the bishop's wife Julia (
Loretta Young). Eventually, the lives of both Henry and Julia are agreeably altered by the presence of the affable angel: He regains the "common touch" he'd almost lost, while she realizes anew how much she truly loves her husband. Adapted by
Robert E. Sherwood and
Robert Bercovicci from a novel by
Robert Nathan,
The Bishop's Wife was remade in 1996 as
The Preacher's Wife, with
Denzel Washington,
Whitney Houston and
Courtney B. Vance.
