Do you want it all?

lurkittyThe Bishop’s Wife is a smart little film with one of my favorite features: Cary Grant. In it, He plays an Angel sent to grant David Niven’s (The Bishop’s) fondest desire. But the problem is that the Bishop doesn’t know what he really wants, and Cary delivers that, along with a fine performance, in style. Loretta Young, however, delivers a quite forgettable performance in the title role as the Bishop’s forgotten wife. This film was remade a few years ago as The Preacher's Wife. It's okay, but not the same.
What I adore about this film is its gentle coziness. It’s like sitting beside a warm fireplace. Everything about it is genuine and heartfelt. It’s just something nice to put it in the DVD player and know you’re not going to be assaulted by loud raucous images or noise for a little while, but you are going to be touched by a good story.
I know we’ve all been in this position; wishing we had just that much more money. What if we won the Lottery? What big plans to save the world would we execute?
I read a really sad story about a man and his estranged wife who won it all. Those two could have used an Angel to help them figure out what was important after all.
