Plot: A debonair angel comes to Earth to help an Episcopalian bishop and his wife in their quest to raise money for the new church.

Storyline: An Episcopal Bishop, Henry Brougham, has been working for months on the plans for an elaborate new cathedral which he hopes will be paid for primarily by a wealthy, stubborn widow. He is losing sight of his family and of why he became a churchman in the first place. Enter Dudley, an angel sent to help him. Dudley does help everyone he meets, but not necessarily in the way they would have preferred. With the exception of Henry, everyone loves him, but Henry begins to believe that Dudley is there to replace him, both at work and in his family's affections, as Christmas approaches. --IMDb (by John Vogel)

A Masterpiece (Feb. 05, 2007 by leboeufs):
This is an incredibly wonderful movie which ranks right up there with Casablanca in my eyes and has been sorely under-appreciated by the usually astute IMDb voters. This is Cary Grant's best performance. He is impeccable as an angel who falls in love with an earthling but continues to perform his duties anyway. He gets it all right. Cary Grant is an angel. He was originally cast as the Bishop but demanded to be given the role of the angel instead.

This movie is a joy to watch as it shows the power of transformation and the power of the human spirit. I particularly appreciated how Cary demonstrates the humanity of people at all levels of society from the top to the bottom. This is truly a movie for the ages.
