"The Bishop's Wife" (1947)
"In this charming fantasy romance, Cary Grant stars as an angel named Dudley, sent to help a struggling bishop (David Niven) who has lost sight of his family while trying to build a grand cathedral. Dudley’s arrival brings unexpected miracles and a renewed sense of joy, especially to the bishop’s neglected wife (Loretta Young). As Christmas approaches, the angel's presence brings both warmth and confusion, leaving the bishop to confront his own priorities. But Dudley’s growing affection for the bishop’s wife adds an unexpected complication to his divine mission."
