Additional InformationDavid Niven plays preoccupied, harrassed Bishop Henry Brougham whose prayers are answered at Christmas when an angel (played by Cary Grant) is sent from heaven to help him raise money for a new church, enabling him to give his full attention to his neglected wife (Loretta Young) and parishioners. The heavenly agent performs a number of miracles on his behalf, restoring hope to all. A delightful comedy which was remade in 1996 by Penny Marshall with Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington as THE PREACHER'S WIFE.

  • Imaginative film

    I’ve always loved this film. Massive fan of David Niven. Niven is a bishop trying to raise money for a magnificent cathedral. Loretta Young plays his patient wife. Niven prays for help and Cary grant appears in his life as a guiding angel. Film is not overly religious. But very uplifting. It shows how small kindnesses and considerations can bring happiness

  • Christmas cheer. !

    It is a Christmas'y movie that can be watched again from year to year. No one was shot, no one died, it was good will all the way through. I recall it as a youngster when we only had a black and white TV in the UK. Will still watch it from time to time.
