The Bishop’s Wife (1947)

I watched this in September of 2009, with Judy

Initial Reaction: Fine acting with a less than full plot

Major Actors: Cary Grant, Loretta Young, David Niven

My Thoughts: I love CG. He had presence. That being said, this is not one of his best works. Niven had a specific character that he played well. I certainly empathize with the basic message – great works done for the wrong motivation can snowball into a horrible situation. This is a nice distraction but not a really deep or thought provoking piece.

Recommendation: for those who like the older movies, especially Cary Grant. A nice stay at home and get all warm and fuzzy with the wife kind of film.
