Cary Grant’s angelic role
turns 70
David Niven stars as busy bishop Henry Brougham in the 1947 tale “The
Bishop’s Wife,” directed by Henry Koster. Brougham is attempting to get a new
cathedral constructed, to the detriment of his marriage to Julia (Loretta Young).
Dudley (Cary Grant) is an angel just trying to help the bishop realize what, and
whom, he has before it’s too late. As he gets to know Julia, Dudley begins to fall
in love with her -- definitely not part of his job description. Watch on TCM
