This is a wonderful film. It's a movie for all seasons, not just at Christmastime. Cary Grant is charming as Dudley, the angel sent to answer the prayers of the bishop (David Niven) who is desperately trying to raise funding for a new cathedral. However, he gets under the skin of the bishop as he poses as his assistant. Dudley ultimately opens the bishop's eyes as to what is really precious in life. Loretta Young is sweet and lovely and does a wonderful job as the bishop's loyal wife. It's also amusing to see how Dudley seems to charm everyone with whom he comes in contact. It's very touching and heartwarming, and is just a great feel-good movie. Later redone as the Preacher's Wife with Denzel Washington, I believe the original is the masterpiece. Do see it!
