The Bishop's Wife, also known as Cary and the Bishop's Wife, is a 1947 romantic comedy film, starring Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young.


Plot[]

Dejected by his efforts to raise money to build a cathedral, Bishop Henry Brougham (David Niven) beseeches heaven for guidance, and is visited immediately by Dudley (Cary Grant), who claims to be an angel. Henry is skeptical, then annoyed when Dudley ingratiates himself into the household as his assistant and worse, wins the attentions of Henry's long-suffering and kindly wife (Loretta Young).
