Its a joy to watch a movie like this right when you need a break. Bishop Henry Brougham(David Niven)is feeling the pressure of building a new cathedral. He prays for guidance and an angel named Dudley(Cary Grant)comes to earth to help him, his wife Julia(Loretta Young)and his parishioners. Dudley's good deeds brings hope and good will and even puts thoughts of jealousy in the bishop's head. Julia feeling neglected by her busy husband finds joy in spending time with the angelic Dudley. A very good mix of drama, comedy and fantasy. Other players include: Monty Woolley, James Gleason, Regis Toomey and Elsa Lanchester. Worth watching every Christmas season.
