I named my cat Dudley as he is the angel who gatecrashed into my life 2 days before Christmas...was a stray who ran in the door from the freezing snow one night and I didnt have the heart to put him back out...he decided to stay and we are still together 12 years later ❤❤❤ he is my Christmas Angel
Its 3.25pm, and I've just finished watching this classic at home in Kent, England. I'd like to wish everyone that has, is, and will one day watch this wonderful film, a very Merry Christmas.
I finished a minute ago. 11:00 PM here in Costa Rica. Thank you for your wishes, those have become truth tonight. I am so full of happiness right now, how weird it can be?
I hope your Christmas was memorable, and HAPPY NEW YEAR. From the area of California and Nevada. (I HAVEN'T FIGURE OUT WHERE I SHOULD LIVE) I just finished watching also LETTER TO 3 WIFES.... WIDOW 77, HUSBAND PAST AWAY.
Anche a me mancano, ne ho 57 e i vecchi film classici mi mancano come la vita e' meravigliosa di Capra .O le Campane del Santa Maria con Ingrid Bergman
I, too, am 62 and was raised on beautiful classics like The Bishop's Wife. This was a favorite of my dad while he was still alive, so much in fact, that he asked me to play it for him not just at Christmas but throughout the year. Now, I find myself watching it throughout the year when I need a pick me up. Merry Christmas!
I'm 46, raised under decaying socialist regime which had to give way to rampant neoliberal free market economy based on greed, envy, rat race and all encompassing consumption. I watch old films after work to forget about the world in which I live, chaotic, frenzy, nihilistic.

When Dudley magically had the typewriter writing a new sermon for The Bishop, you hear it read in the last scene. I'm not really a church goer, but thats the kind of thing I would love to hear someone read out in public. It fills your thoughts with long lost values and what can be truly good amongst all if us. Today is Christmas Eve , Sunday 24th Dec. 2023. I only want the people reading this to just feel happiness. Yes there are lots of things to worry about. But find joy in even the smallest thing. Merry Season's.
Who needs millions of pounds of Visual effects, the 5/- worth in this film were perfect! A lovely heartwarming film with Cary Grant as always,as we expect, no violence, no swearing And with a happy ending. Feel good at its best.
I am glad that other people feel the same way as I do after watching a film such as this. Perhaps its my age but I don't need to see things being blown apart and people murdered in graphic detail in order to be 'entertained' . It often seems to me that the older I get the more I want to live in the past. Is that sad or what!@@tanni1877
Oh boy, do I agree. I so dislike movies built around special effects. Give me great dialogue and great acting and you can dump effects in the dumpster.
Thank you for showing 😮this wonderful film. I am 70 a few days before Christmas and for many years I have watched this film as it's my favourite and reminds me of better times. I often find it more difficult when. I think of loved ones that are no longer with us, but I know for certain that we will meet again and not too long now. ❤
Thumbs up. It has a definite fascination . . . even for a former physics instructor like me. Some call it a " Romantic + Intellectual Dream. " Because the real thing is impossible to find.
Vijf years ago my wife died.... every year around christmas-time we watched this movie together, it brings back beautiful memory's....wish she still was here.
This is by far my favorite Christmas movie. It's magical, tender and beautiful. And funny. All these years later and Cary Grant and Loretta Young still shine.
I first saw this wonderful movie with my Mama. I was sick and she put it on to watch with her while we ate soup together. Miss her so much! This is such a feel-good family movie.🥰
Sounds like my experiences with my mom. We watched the Million Dollar movies and one was the Bishop's Wife. I love this movie. Can't beat black and white. Always brings back good memories. Merry Christmas!
I also saw this magical film for the first time years ago , one Christmas with my Mum and my Nan, it is so wonderful to see it again after so many years.
Oh my, Cary Grant, don't believe anyone since has reached his level of second degree humor, discourse and humility, filled with charm! It seemed to flow so profusely from him, like a second nature.

You cannot beat this original. The music, photography, brilliant cast is a do not miss every year! Were there ever two better-looking humans than Loretta Young and Cary Grant??? Black and white brings back old Christmas memories better somehow. All the casting was superb really.
Since watching this remarkable film two days ago, I can't get "The Bishop's Wife" out of my head. Cary Grant as Dudley the angel was magnificent. His love and concern towards others is heartwarming. I wish I could have a visit from Dudley. This is a top notch Christmas movie that everyone should watch at least once in their lifetime. Splendid cast and production. Worthy of an Academy Award!
I can't believe I never saw this! One of my new favorites for Christmas now! Thank you for uploading it ❤ what a beautiful, delightful holiday movie reminding us of the real reason for Christmas. Merry hristmas to all reading this and may you feel HIS joy and warmth.
Lol you and me both! 40 years old in February and this is the first time ever seeing this diamond in the rough. What a picture! My new favorite Christmas film!
You might enjoy looking up movies made/directed by the Actor, Kevin Sorbo. He became a Christian and was also fed up w/ obscene violent shows. I think you will enjoy them, I do! 😊
What a beautiful movie. It brought a tear to my eye especially when the sermon was given. This movie shed the whole feeling of Christmas. The birth of Christ. Just beautiful!!!!!
My favorite Christmas movie, the chemistry between the cast members is sublime....My very favorite part is the skating scene...so whimsical....so magical...IMO, the BEST Christmas movie ever, because it always leaves me feeling happier than I was....
@Elmer-hf1je... I agree the original 1947 "The Bishop's Wife" is just wounder and a superb cast staring, Cary Grant as Dudley Loretta Young as Julia Brougham David Niven as Bishop Henry Brougham Monty Woolley as Professor Wutheridge
Forget the misery of “it’s a wonderful life” here is a warm cheerful Christmas movie with a wonderful cast ,Cary Grant being a very angelic version of his screen persona is a joy to behold
@@sheryl146 Drunk chemist beating children , a child disabled , suicide , Robbery ,but thankfully Clarents the Angel l know people love “wonderful” it is a very dark movie in so many ways Merry Xmas we can both hope lots of bells are ringing for those angels to get their wins
I absolutely loved this movie. In 2024, this world still needs a savior. We all need to be kind to one another, extend a warm heart, and practice peace on earth. It’s so badly lacking.
Reading all the comments about this wonderful film reinforced the fact that I am not a freak to love such older movies. I detest and can't understand today's movies. This made me wonder if that made me a dinosaur!
No words can describe the happiness to enjoy such a beautiful movie, never saw Cary grant in a scene like this ,it was perfect!!!!! I wish an angel would come into my life all of a sudden and bring me some kind of happiness I'm needing so desperately, God bless u all and let's not forget that God is always with us although we cannot see him. God bless u all.
When ambition takes over your life to the exclusion of your family. Self gratification is more important than anyone else in your life. This is played out in everyday life throughout this planet today. No matter what you believe in, be true to yourself by helping those who are not as fortunate as you have been in life is more rewarding. Only those who are closed minded will tell you that is wrong. But deep in your heart you know they are wrong, so leave them to their little lives because sooner or later they will see what you see and feel.
My all time favorite Christmas movie! 💚❤️💚❤️ Cary Grant was the one who thought him and Niven should change roles when he was originally cast as the bishop. Genius man. I listen to the Mitchell Boys Choir twice it’s so beautiful. I imagine what it would be like to have one of those boys be your grandfather ☺️
What an interesting idea to switch the roles played by Grant and Niven. I like the way it was done best, but I think it would have worked the other way around too.
This is a wonderful movie. Reading thru the comments and watching the movie, I am in tears at the moment. It's so hard to pick out a favorite part when the entire movie is filled with such passionate vigor. I recall as a little girl what choir was like and it was just like these boys' choir. As a former organist and singer in the choir, I'd have to say it was quite the miracle when Dudly waved his hand and the boys came to the practice. What beautiful voices they had too. I love Cary Grant movies, but I think this is one of his best performances in this one. David Niven and Loretta Young were quite spectacular as well. Just the whole cast was.....magical.
I agree with you. Have you also watched "People Will Talk" starring Cary Grant? That was where I first came to know him and everytime I see his name pop up in any movie, I am agauranteed of great moments. Also, watch Loretta Young in "The Farmer's Daughter". She takes the lead role there and she was exceptionally great - as always.
I have loved this film since the 1960s when I first saw it. Bought it on video and again on DVD. And now have it downloaded. Must have watched it over 200 times. The choir singing still makes me cry and I'm a 72 year old male.
My gosh...........ultimate leading man, how handsome & charismatic Cary Grant was on top of talented. The remakes of this classic do not even come close to or have the magic of this original. Thank you for sharing!! Happy Holidays to all🥰
There so many wonderful Christian movies that replay the meaning of Christmas🎄🙏 this my friends is one of them .BLESS YOU ALL,EVERYONE EVERY WHERE INTHE NAME OF YESHUA 🙏🙏
I watched this movie every single year as a teen. It was on TV every december 24 afternoon, while i was decorating the tree. I loved it so much ❤ And then the remake happened, and no channel here ever showed this gem again. And it's so hard to find even on DVD, at least at a reasonable price. So finding it now here is a delight. Thanks ❤ Of course a bit difficult for me cause english isn't my language, but i hope to understand enough. I'm almost scared to watch it after 30 years (omg), cause we all know how movies we loved as children sometimes are way less good than we thought back then. But i hope that's not the case here. Can't wait to watch it tomorrow (almost midnight, too late to watch now). 😊
This movie warms your heart and makes you feel there are people still around like this with such kindness and a pure purpose. Let Christmas guide you too understanding your purpose here on Earth. Be gracious in your thoughts and giving of yourself. Bless you all.🇬🇧🙏❤️
But let us not forget "the reason for the season" those of Christian faith -- it's Baby Jesus' birthday. Let us try not to let commercialism overwhelm us with the business greed. If there's not enough $, don't let it bring you down. Celebrate His Birthday. For me, it wasn't Xmas without the Nativity present... we always had a Nativity but not a tree -- often too expensive! But always the Nativity. Mama would hide the Baby Jesus' figure till Xmas because he "wasn't born yet". Mama said she'd ask the tree man for some of the discarded branches to have the Xmas smell. She'd arrange them around the Nativity. Some yrs. later, we'd have a small birthday cake saying "Happy Birthday Baby Jesus" and sing Happy Birthday to him. These were some of my happiest memories of Xmas. 🥰
Such a lovely movie, I wish life was like this. Helping people back on track. And realising how lucky we are to live a life in faith and love. These movies help us to see how we are failing in life and how we can learn from Christmas and serve others .🇬🇧🙏❤️
❤.. I so miss these beautiful classics. I'm 53 and was blessed to be able to watch this one and so many on TV growing up. What a gift if they brought them back.. We need more of these messages.. God bless and Merry Christmas.. Jesus Christ of Nazareth.. Lord and Savior.
Loretta Young 😅was so beautiful. Her lips are popular today. Bher eyes are so shiney. Her acting is always flawless. She played a nun so convincingly. A missing generation starlet.
Another beautiful film from that era is The Bells Of St. Mary's. I have always loved that movie. And, another great Christmas film is Miracle On 34th Street, it is a cute movie about Santa Claus.
Jesus Christ is not a Relegion. He is the Truth and the people who believe in Him and everything He proved to be True. Saταnists who rule the world, have made Christianity a relegion,but that's not the real Christians and have nothing to do with the Truth. Life and nature work in the system of 2.Man/Woman. Truth/Lies.Yes/No. Positive/Negative (electricity). Everything works in 2.So, it's the Truth that Jesus proved and who doesn't have faith or doesn't follow the truth, want's it or not, he/she, chooses the 2nd path, the path that Devil rules, and has ALL relegions in his hand.(as also all people who have no relegion and believe in nonsense.
@@lauradavidson6 Jesus existed as history points toward but was a man, not a god or son of god. Every culture, continent, country has religions and gods, but the holes in the claims and stories are endless and there man made origins are more than evident. There is a God though and the medical research into the phenomenon of NDE's over the last 45 years is overwhelming and proves there is an afterlife and God/Source. But that God, the real God or Source has no gender or name and is far bigger, wiser, greater, more incredible and Awesome than any of the man made gods of our religious myths.
Grew up watching this with my family at Christmas! It just isn't Christmas without this movie and It's a Wonderful Life and both have angels👼💝 From beginning to end this movie just feels you with warmth. Lorretta Young, David Niven, Cary Grant, Monty Wooley and James Gleason all are wonderful!! The harp scene is my favorite.
Today all the Christmas movies are the following: he’s in his mid 30s. She’s in late 20s and some times a single mother. These Hallmark movies are nothing but romance. If you take out the Christmas decorations and tree and take out the special effect of snow, you can recycle the movie as a Valentine movie and show it in February. Today’s Christmas movies do not have the appeal of The Bishop’s Wife or Its A Wonderful Life.
Nowhere near. They’re not a patch of the bishop’s wife or it’s a wonderful life. The actors in hallmark are second rate. They don’t even come near these Hollywood icons.
Cary Grant used to say if people want to get to know him they just need to watch his films. This is a beautiful film and if it doesn't get you grateful to God nothing else will. Grant is a real angel for doing this movie. It would be good if everyone made time to watch this.
I absolutely love this film great actors and actresses , quality and class nearly 80 years old I have just watched it in bed . Thankyou for showing this movie, have it on dvd now but can’t get upstairs for now , ps almost forgot the beautiful singing from the Mitchell boy choir ❤❤❤❤
Wow. What an absolutely delightful film. I'm 66 in a week's time and i have never seen this film before. I'm so chuffed to have found it now. Thank you very much for posting.
@jamesadams6009 You and I are the exact same age, James! I turned 66 on December 29. Yes, I agree with you that this was a remarkable film that I saw for the first time this morning, January 31, 2024. How this one slipped past me all these years, is a mystery! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It really means a lot. 😇🕯⚘️🕊
Oh! What a lovely representation of an America that probably only ever NEARLY existed, but was aspired to. It makes me nostalgic, even though I’m not American, and I feel the same when I watch similar films about old England. But at least there was aspiration towards something decent and beautiful. What are modern-day aspirations ??
Our all-time favorite Christmas movie. So many delightful things interwoven, so many little touches here and there that keep the whole thing fresh and entertaining. All the while, watching the ensemble cast of so many superb actors just perfectly cast for their roles create magic. And for the time, the special effects were actually impressive! The ice skating scene may be a little less convincing regards just who is really skating, but that can be forgiven...it's still a good scene. Cary Grant, Loretta Young, David Niven, Monty Wooly, Elsa Lanchester, James Gleason - all faces that fans of film from this era will not only recognize, but will do so fondly. Worth every single minute of time spent watching, remembering, and coming back to.
Don’t people realise it’s always better to give than receive wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if people gave the most precious gift of all TIME merry Xmas to all xxx
I first knew Cary Grant in the movie "People Will Talk" whereas I first knew Loretta Young in "The Farmer's Daughter". Two masterclass movies that totally made me fall in love with all Cary Grant and Loretta Young movies. This, too, as expected, is a masterpiece movie.
"The Farmer's Daughter" is a favorite of mine. I watched it just last week. Her character was/is a strong feminine archetype for any young women to aspire to!
@poochyface1... Perhaps two lesser known Christmas films that I like are "The Shop Around the Corner, 1940" and "Dest Set, 1957" " The Shop Around the Corner" is a 1940 American romantic comedy film produced and directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart and Frank Morgan. "Desk Set" is a 1957 American romantic comedy film directed by Walter Lang and starring Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Gig Young and Joan Blondell.
David Niven may have the smaller and lower key role, but he does his typically fine job with it.
To all the people who love the classics, I'm glad I found my tribe! Non of my friends or family appriciate these beautiful movies 😢❤
My son (ASD) is 15 and he loooves these movies!
I'm sure they would if they watched.
They make a gloomy winter day better😊❤❤

Cary Grant could carry himself in a way no other person has. A inner grace, like from another planet.
No one ever looked like Cary Grant in the history of humanity. I often suspect he was designed by aliens.
@@DianeCee57He was an uncannily beautiful man. As though something very advanced scientifically had been performed on him at the age of two weeks (in utro, that is)
My sentiments EXACTLY!
Uncannily gorgeous and talented.
If I could pick my choice of a real angel, it would surely be Cary Grant
They were both english actors thats why it worked. We have style intelligence.

Agreed! I love the Mitchell Boys Choir!they have a facebook page to keep up with members!
Christmas AND Cary Grant! Who could ask for anything more?
Only took me 65 yrs to see this! Caught it on turner classics last night. What a wonderful movie!

Do not ever get tired of this movie….the actors/ actresses are beautiful….” Merry Christmas “ 2023…thank you
Merry Xmas 2023,have a happy year 2024

I love this movies. Watch it even when it's not Christmas.
Watching today August 19.
Cary Grant was the perfect angel
I can't believe I never saw this! One of my new favorites for Christmas now! Thank you for uploading it ❤ what a beautiful, delightful holiday movie reminding us of the real reason for Christmas. Merry hristmas to all reading this and may you feel HIS joy and warmth.
I am spiritual and known for kindness, however I do not like the bible because it was written by sexist homophobic males !
I watch it every Christmas and I always have good luck afterwards 💜💕💜💕

Lol you and me both! 40 years old in February and this is the first time ever seeing this diamond in the rough. What a picture! My new favorite Christmas film!
They certainly don't make them like this anymore. We need to get back to this.
I agree. Nowadays films, at least most of them, are obscene and violent. I love these oldies
There's a remake of this movie 🎥 but it's not the same
You might enjoy looking up movies made/directed by the Actor, Kevin Sorbo. He became a Christian and was also fed up w/ obscene violent shows. I think you will enjoy them, I do! 😊
What a beautiful movie. It brought a tear to my eye especially when the sermon was given. This movie shed the whole feeling of Christmas. The birth of Christ. Just beautiful!!!!!
Me too.
I agree w/ you have a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year 2024
For me it was the telling of the story about David and how everyone was DRAWN to listen because it was the Voice of Truth!
I never tire of watching this delightful film, a must watch for anyone who hasn't seen it
There will never been a more debonair man as Cary Grant! What a beautiful movie!
What a beautiful story full of love if only man could be the same
No modern day Christmas movie could ever compete with this. Thanks for showing it, Merri Christmas.
Always been a big fan of Cary Grant, nice to find a movie of his that I haven't seen before.
My favorite Christmas movie, the chemistry between the cast members is sublime....My very favorite part is the skating scene...so whimsical....so magical...IMO, the BEST Christmas movie ever, because it always leaves me feeling happier than I was....
These old movies are pure gold.❤
My late sister (54/2018) Loved older shows like these. 11/26/24. RIP Ranay can't wait to see you again at Jesus feet.
Christmas in Heaven... Many of Us are waiting to join the Celebration. Merry Christmas!
Christmas in Heaven. Many of Us are waiting to join the Celebration. Merry Christmas!
A feel good movie that should be in everyone’s top ten of Christmas movies , I’ll even say in my humble opinion number one !
I agree %100
@Elmer-hf1je... I agree the original 1947 "The Bishop's Wife" is just wounder and a superb cast staring,
Cary Grant as Dudley
Loretta Young as Julia Brougham
David Niven as Bishop Henry Brougham
Monty Woolley as Professor Wutheridge
The most underrated Christmas film. After its a wonderful life this is my fave. Thanks so much for downloading.
Forget the misery of “it’s a wonderful life” here is a warm cheerful Christmas movie with a wonderful cast ,Cary Grant being a very angelic version of his screen persona is a joy to behold
It would help if his real life was with angels and God.
It's only miserable if you are a miserable bstard to begin with.
The misery of Its a Wonderful Life? I’m afraid that says a lot about you.
@@sheryl146 Drunk chemist beating children , a child disabled , suicide , Robbery ,but thankfully Clarents the Angel l know people love “wonderful” it is a very dark movie in so many ways Merry Xmas we can both hope lots of bells are ringing for those angels to get their wins
Indeed!
I absolutely loved this movie. In 2024, this world still needs a savior. We all need to be kind to one another, extend a warm heart, and practice peace on earth. It’s so badly lacking.
We have a Savior- now it's up to us to help.
Reading all the comments about this wonderful film reinforced the fact that I am not a freak to love such older movies. I detest and can't understand today's movies. This made me wonder if that made me a dinosaur!
Yes! But we need dinosaurs.
No words can describe the happiness to enjoy such a beautiful movie, never saw Cary grant in a scene like this ,it was perfect!!!!! I wish an angel would come into my life all of a sudden and bring me some kind of happiness I'm needing so desperately, God bless u all and let's not forget that God is always with us although we cannot see him. God bless u all.
He is w/ us always, and you will find happiness....... have faith and God bless you😊❤
I pray that you will receive happiness NOW... WE ASK THIS IN the mighty name of JESUS AMEN... GOD BLESS.
This was ;my first time seeing The Bishop's Wife. I forgot how great movies can be. Thank you YT for showing this. Loretta Young was an angel
Cary Grant: What a marvelous looking man....and the ice-skating was terrific! A very nice movie!
Part of his ice skating was his double.
Thank you for this wonderful movie. It's my first time watching it, and it truly warmed my heart. ❤
It's a magical masterpiece...
One of those unique, great, meaningful movies of previous decades of the 🇺🇸 movies!
When ambition takes over your life to the exclusion of your family. Self gratification is more important than anyone else in your life. This is played out in everyday life throughout this planet today. No matter what you believe in, be true to yourself by helping those who are not as fortunate as you have been in life is more rewarding. Only those who are closed minded will tell you that is wrong. But deep in your heart you know they are wrong, so leave them to their little lives because sooner or later they will see what you see and feel.
I am not a religious person and I am interested in old movies, I agree 100% with what you said, thank you for leaving this comment 👌👍👏🌹
You sum up well, the deception of putting self gratification above everyone else.
I've watched this movie every Christmas since I was a little girl. The season wouldn't be complete without it. It brings back many memories.
My all time favorite Christmas movie! 💚❤️💚❤️ Cary Grant was the one who thought him and Niven should change roles when he was originally cast as the bishop. Genius man.
I listen to the Mitchell Boys Choir twice it’s so beautiful. I imagine what it would be like to have one of those boys be your grandfather ☺️
Niven was in the army, so he portrayed the role of the Bishop with such class and dedication. Amazing.
Yes, agree. I absolutely love that song. It always makes me cry tears of joy.
What an interesting idea to switch the roles played by Grant and Niven. I like the way it was done best, but I think it would have worked the other way around too.
Oh, I do too! A quick rewind and I listen again. Such sublime music!
Watched this with my mum today, used to be one of my favourites growing up in the 80s. An absolute classic.
Loretta young is just an angel her self, she is everything when I think of a real LADY.Great movie Thanks...
This is a wonderful movie. Reading thru the comments and watching the movie, I am in tears at the moment. It's so hard to pick out a favorite part when the entire movie is filled with such passionate vigor. I recall as a little girl what choir was like and it was just like these boys' choir. As a former organist and singer in the choir, I'd have to say it was quite the miracle when Dudly waved his hand and the boys came to the practice. What beautiful voices they had too. I love Cary Grant movies, but I think this is one of his best performances in this one. David Niven and Loretta Young were quite spectacular as well. Just the whole cast was.....magical.
I agree with you. Have you also watched "People Will Talk" starring Cary Grant? That was where I first came to know him and everytime I see his name pop up in any movie, I am agauranteed of great moments. Also, watch Loretta Young in "The Farmer's Daughter". She takes the lead role there and she was exceptionally great - as always.
I have loved this film since the 1960s when I first saw it.
Bought it on video and again on DVD.
And now have it downloaded.
Must have watched it over 200 times.
The choir singing still makes me cry and I'm a 72 year old male.
Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. I like dogs in movies and they have a St Bernard.
😊
This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies. The cast was perfect.
My gosh...........ultimate leading man, how handsome & charismatic Cary Grant was on top of talented. The remakes of this classic do not even come close to or have the magic of this original. Thank you for sharing!! Happy Holidays to all🥰
There so many wonderful Christian movies that replay the meaning of Christmas🎄🙏 this my friends is one of them .BLESS YOU ALL,EVERYONE EVERY WHERE INTHE NAME OF YESHUA 🙏🙏
May God bless you always. Peace and love to you and all your family and friends, and truly throughout the world, our world. 🕊❤️🙏👑
I watched this movie every single year as a teen. It was on TV every december 24 afternoon, while i was decorating the tree. I loved it so much ❤
And then the remake happened, and no channel here ever showed this gem again. And it's so hard to find even on DVD, at least at a reasonable price.
So finding it now here is a delight. Thanks ❤ Of course a bit difficult for me cause english isn't my language, but i hope to understand enough.
I'm almost scared to watch it after 30 years (omg), cause we all know how movies we loved as children sometimes are way less good than we thought back then. But i hope that's not the case here. Can't wait to watch it tomorrow (almost midnight, too late to watch now). 😊
You won't regret watching it. You'll love it all over again! 😇
Hope you still loved it x
@@irisfallockthank you, i did ❤

This movie warms your heart and makes you feel there are people still around like this with such kindness and a pure purpose.
Let Christmas guide you too understanding your purpose here on Earth.
Be gracious in your thoughts and giving of yourself. Bless you all.🇬🇧🙏❤️
This film is from 1948. Back then there was civility.
Lovely comment, bless you to! Happy Holidays🥰😇
@@tanni1877 Happy Holidays to you too Tanni.
But let us not forget "the reason for the season" those of Christian faith -- it's Baby Jesus' birthday.
Let us try not to let commercialism overwhelm us with the business greed. If there's not enough $, don't let it bring you down. Celebrate His Birthday.
For me, it wasn't Xmas without the Nativity present... we always had a Nativity but not a tree -- often too expensive! But always the Nativity. Mama would hide the Baby Jesus' figure till Xmas because he "wasn't born yet". Mama said she'd ask the tree man for some of the discarded branches to have the Xmas smell. She'd arrange them around the Nativity.
Some yrs. later, we'd have a small birthday cake saying "Happy Birthday Baby Jesus" and sing Happy Birthday to him. These were some of my happiest memories of Xmas. 🥰
"Be gracious in your thoughts and giving of yourself". What a beautiful sentiment. Bless you.
Such a lovely movie, I wish life was like this.
Helping people back on track. And realising how lucky we are to live a life in faith and love.
These movies help us to see how we are failing in life and how we can learn from Christmas and serve others .🇬🇧🙏❤️
well stated indeed.......... cheers
Besides enjoying a good film, you can be delighted by the language spoken .
❤.. I so miss these beautiful classics. I'm 53 and was blessed to be able to watch this one and so many on TV growing up. What a gift if they brought them back.. We need more of these messages.. God bless and Merry Christmas.. Jesus Christ of Nazareth.. Lord and Savior.
I want cary grant for Christmas xx
So would I. ❤

Aloha, yes, that’s the real beginning of World Peace🕊.
What a beautiful movie 🎄🕊💎🌹❤🎁💫
Loretta Young 😅was so beautiful. Her lips are popular today. Bher eyes are so shiney. Her acting is always flawless. She played a nun so convincingly. A missing generation starlet.
She was Catholic and went to a convent prep school and was taught by nuns.
I’ve just watch in 2024 .
Enjoy 😉 this film as you continue on through the years . ❤❤❤😇🥰😍
We also!! 😃
I am from different religion but still loved this fantastic movie, it's really cheerful
Another beautiful film from that era is The Bells Of St. Mary's. I have always loved that movie. And, another great Christmas
film is Miracle On 34th Street, it is a cute movie about Santa Claus.
Jesus died for all of us...not any religion
Jesus Christ is not a Relegion. He is the Truth and the people who believe in Him and everything He proved to be True. Saταnists who rule the world, have made Christianity a relegion,but that's not the real Christians and have nothing to do with the Truth. Life and nature work in the system of 2.Man/Woman. Truth/Lies.Yes/No. Positive/Negative (electricity). Everything works in 2.So, it's the Truth that Jesus proved and who doesn't have faith or doesn't follow the truth, want's it or not, he/she, chooses the 2nd path, the path that Devil rules, and has ALL relegions in his hand.(as also all people who have no relegion and believe in nonsense.
@@lauradavidson6 Jesus existed as history points toward but was a man, not a god or son of god. Every culture, continent, country has religions and gods, but the holes in the claims and stories are endless and there man made origins are more than evident. There is a God though and the medical research into the phenomenon of NDE's over the last 45 years is overwhelming and proves there is an afterlife and God/Source. But that God, the real God or Source has no gender or name and is far bigger, wiser, greater, more incredible and Awesome than any of the man made gods of our religious myths.
@@lauradavidson6 He was resuscitated in the tomb .
Remember , LOVE is the reason for the season.
Don't you just love these heart warming movie's.
Full of kindness, and love.
Thank you for sharing!
Cary Grant! My favorite movie star! He’s just so fabulous!
I agree!!
Grew up watching this with my family at Christmas! It just isn't Christmas without this movie and It's a Wonderful Life and both have angels👼💝 From beginning to end this movie just feels you with warmth. Lorretta Young, David Niven, Cary Grant, Monty Wooley and James Gleason all are wonderful!! The harp scene is my favorite.
This is now my favorite all time Christmas film. Had me on the brink of tears several times.
Cary Grant was so good in the part.
One of my very favorites. The chemistry between Grant, Young and Niven and all the rest of the cast just so wonderful.
Today all the Christmas movies are the following: he’s in his mid 30s. She’s in late 20s and some times a single mother. These Hallmark movies are nothing but romance. If you take out the Christmas decorations and tree and take out the special effect of snow, you can recycle the movie as a Valentine movie and show it in February. Today’s Christmas movies do not have the appeal of The Bishop’s Wife or Its A Wonderful Life.
Very true but still fun to watch but we need classics like This movie that depict true meaning rather than frivolity
There used to be talents, now they make up with technology.
@@frederikbjerre427 there's no technology in Hallmark movies lol
Nowhere near. They’re not a patch of the bishop’s wife or it’s a wonderful life. The actors in hallmark are second rate. They don’t even come near these Hollywood icons.
Cary Grant used to say if people want to get to know him they just need to watch his films. This is a beautiful film and if it doesn't get you grateful to God nothing else will. Grant is a real angel for doing this movie. It would be good if everyone made time to watch this.
Gosh, just what we all need right now.
Brilliant acting, marvellous cast.
Love it. ❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏🎅
I love when Dudley teaches the prayer to the little girl. Merry Christmas everyone 🙏🏻
I absolutely love this film great actors and actresses , quality and class nearly 80 years old I have just watched it in bed . Thankyou for showing this movie, have it on dvd now but can’t get upstairs for now , ps almost forgot the beautiful singing from the Mitchell boy choir ❤❤❤❤
I watch every Christmas. Excellent movie.
Wow. What an absolutely delightful film. I'm 66 in a week's time and i have never seen this film before. I'm so chuffed to have found it now. Thank you very much for posting.
All the best for your birthday 🥳
Merry Christmas 🎄
God bless
@jamesadams6009 You and I are the exact same age, James! I turned 66 on December 29. Yes, I agree with you that this was a remarkable film that I saw for the first time this morning, January 31, 2024. How this one slipped past me all these years, is a mystery! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It really means a lot. 😇🕯⚘️🕊
Oh! What a lovely representation of an America that probably only ever NEARLY existed, but was aspired to. It makes me nostalgic, even though I’m not American, and I feel the same when I watch similar films about old England.
But at least there was aspiration towards something decent and beautiful. What are modern-day aspirations ??
Our all-time favorite Christmas movie. So many delightful things interwoven, so many little touches here and there that keep the whole thing fresh and entertaining. All the while, watching the ensemble cast of so many superb actors just perfectly cast for their roles create magic. And for the time, the special effects were actually impressive! The ice skating scene may be a little less convincing regards just who is really skating, but that can be forgiven...it's still a good scene. Cary Grant, Loretta Young, David Niven, Monty Wooly, Elsa Lanchester, James Gleason - all faces that fans of film from this era will not only recognize, but will do so fondly. Worth every single minute of time spent watching, remembering, and coming back to.
Cary Grant as the angel was brilliant! After all, he always seemed too handsome to really be true!!!!
He was utterly charming!
I forgot what a joy this film really is.
A rare gem!! This movie, Loretta Young, Cary Grant is a Christmas classic, just wonderful!❤👼🎄🎄
I just love this movie! It's just a beautiful, heartwarming story of faith and hope and for the goodness in life. Five stars!!!
Don’t people realise it’s always better to give than receive wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if people gave the most precious gift of all TIME merry Xmas to all xxx
I first knew Cary Grant in the movie "People Will Talk" whereas I first knew Loretta Young in "The Farmer's Daughter". Two masterclass movies that totally made me fall in love with all Cary Grant and Loretta Young movies. This, too, as expected, is a masterpiece movie.
"The Farmer's Daughter" is a favorite of mine. I watched it just last week. Her character was/is a strong feminine archetype for any young women to aspire to!
The beautiful voices of the Mitchell boy choir!!!!!❤️💚❤️💚🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sooooooo beautiful. I love olds movies not new movies. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This movie comes up in my suggestions every Christmas and I end up watching it again.
A beautiful Christmas movie. These old classic movies are the best. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so right , classic movies are the best that for sure🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@poochyface1... Perhaps two lesser known Christmas films that I like are "The Shop Around the Corner, 1940" and "Dest Set, 1957" "
The Shop Around the Corner" is a 1940 American romantic comedy film produced and directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart and Frank Morgan.
"Desk Set" is a 1957 American romantic comedy film directed by Walter Lang and starring Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Gig Young and Joan Blondell.
Thankyou for posting , what a wonderful movie , with such a powerful message. I can't believe
I had never heard of it before .❤ 🙏
I’ve watched this movie many a time.
