The Bishop’s Wife - 1947 - 7/10

Once a perennial Yule favorite, less shown nowadays.
Bishop (non Catholic) prays for help.
Not guidance, not solutions, help.
An angel is sent - Cary Grant.
The angel works, likes God, in mysterious ways, not always understandable.
A small clutch of characters are touched by him, shown the light or their burdens eased.
Old fashioned, lifting movie. Wry, not syrupy. Gentle, not noisy. Several unforgettable scenes.
Impossible to imagine this remade today, the generation of cynicism giving way to the ironic age.
Most could not imagine a chance encounter with the Divine.

Actually this was remade in the 90s lol!
Directed by Penny Marshall, starring Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston.
Funny and enjoyable, but no where near as magical or powerful as the original.
