Top 10 feel good movies in no particular order -1 The Bishop's Wife



1947


Cary Grant is an angel sent to help the Bishop, David Niven, who is obsessed with raising money to build a new cathedral at expense of his relationships with his family.  The Bishop has prayed for help and is now getting it but is it the money he needs help with or is it something more important and will Dudley (Cary Grant) get too close to The Bishop's Wife? 


Favourite bit:
Dudley confesses that when an angel starts to envy a mortal it's time for him to move on.


Mike's view:
A gentle, compassionate,  beautifully constructed story with so many feel good moments that it ought to be compulsory viewing every time the economic figures come out.  Particularly good at Christmas when the story is set.
