The Bishop's Wife
The Bishop's Wife, 1947. Starring Loretta Young, David Niven, Cary Grant and a wonderful character actor named Monty Woolley. This is the story of an angel that comes down from heaven to help a bishop with his church and his marriage. One of my favorite character actors is Monty Woolley. A lot of people do not know that he was a professor of drama at Yale, and was forced out after a falling out with the President of Yale. His friend Cole Porter asked him to come to Broadway to perform in one of his plays and from there he starred in many films. One of my favorite stories of Monty: while on a world cruise with Cole and his wife Linda, Cole looked at the sunrise and said "it's delightful". His wife Linda added "it's delicious" and Monty said "it's De-lovely!" Boy do I love the movies!

This is my absolute favorite Xmas movie... I pretty much know each line and gesture of the characters... What speaks to me most is the bleakness of the Bishops spirit set against the harshness of his ambitions... Dudley is magnificent and his admiration of the Bishops Wife magically transform the dreary film into a light filled love story... It's a delight to watch the characters in the cast as they transform over the days leading up to Xmas eve... At St. Timothy's... This is a must watch film!
