The Big Picture

Silver screen icon Cary Grant is at his charming best in The Bishop's Wife, a holiday classic filled to the brim with cozy old Hollywood magic.
Grant plays Dudley, a cheerfully suave angel sent by heaven to help a struggling bishop, and winds up falling in love with the bishop's wife.
The Bishop's Wife advocates against materialism and emphasizes the importance of caring for the needy during Christmastime.
