When Episcopalian bishop Henry Brougham (David_Niven) prays for divine guidance in his efforts to raise the necessary funds for a new cathedral, his prayers are answered in the form of a handsome, personable guardian angel named Dudley (Cary_Grant). Establishing himself as a Yuletide guest in the Brougham home, Dudley arouses the ire of Henry, who, unaware that his visitor is from Up Above, assumes that Dudley has designs on the bishop's wife Julia (Loretta_Young). Eventually, the lives of both Henry and Julia are agreeably altered by the presence of the affable angel: He regains the "common touch" he'd almost lost, while she realizes anew how much she truly loves her husband. Adapted by Robert_E._Sherwood and Robert_Bercovicci from a novel by Robert_Nathan, The Bishop's Wife was remade in 1996 as The_Preacher's_Wife, with Denzel_Washington, Whitney_Houston and Courtney_B._Vance.
