“There are few people who know the secret of making heaven here on earth. You are one of those rare people.” My annual watch of #TheBishopsWife #CaryGrant #ClassicCool

Such a lonely little boy. Lonely then and lonelier now. How can you bear it?

I find the messaging in #TheBishopsWife, while religious, to be surprisingly subtle. Sweet and poignant. With the combination of the score and, of course, the performances, it gives me peace and hope. TY to all my #TCMParty family for your friendship. Happy Holidays everyone! ☃️☃️

Listened to the Lux Radio Theater production of The Bishops Wife on YouTube yesterday. It starred David Nevin as the Bishop Jane Greer as Julia and Tyrone Power as Dudley and it was fantastic.

During the 2nd intermission they promoted the premiere of “All About Eve”

"She's a woman, Henry. And you are (an extremely uptight) man!" #TheBishopsWife #TCMParty

Nice TCM trivia. #TheBishopsWife #TCMParty

I have always wanted Dudley's footprints at the end ... to just disappear. I'm odd that way. #tcmparty #TheBishopsWife #FavoriteHolidayMovie

Hey, Henry? Bishop? Why not make St. Timothy’s your new cathedral? #TCMParty #TheBishopsWife

👏 👏 👏 #TheBishopsWife #TCMParty

I love the idea that you don’t have to be religious to go to a church service. Sometimes it’s just nice to be around other people, in a peaceful setting

The abrupt musical shift from major to minor chord to represent the angel’s arrival and departure, like a dimensional gate opening and closing in the bishop’s life, is chef’s kiss . #TCMParty #TheBishopsWife

If Julia gets to keep her ridiculous hat, does the professor at least get to keep the never ending bottle of sherry?

I always loved that last shot of Dudley. #TCMParty #TheBishopsWife

Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven having a laugh on the set of #TheBishopsWife.

“ Tonight, I want to tell you the story of an empty stocking.”

Henry was looking for guidance about the wrong thing his family and close friends should be more important than a gleaming cathedral #TheBishopsWife #TCMParty #FilmSky📽🎥🎬

I will argue that #TheBishopsWife features the best acting of Cary Grant's career.

IDK man, if Cary Grant wanted to stay on earth and in my life, I’d let him. #TCMParty #TheBishopsWife

Monty Wooley gives a brilliantly subtle performance in #TheBishopsWife. Just as good here as he is doing screwball comedy in The Man Who Came To Dinner. #TCMParty

I find it so sad because Dudley must be so sad and lonely. He makes friends, starts to have feelings for them and then he has to leave, and they won't even remember him.

I guess an essential requirement in angel school is expert harp playing. (And Cary Grant does a great job faking it.)

You are one of those rare people......You and Belinda Carlisle

I was praying for a cathedral./No, Henry. You were praying for guidance. #TheBishopsWife #TCMParty

God, I love Monty Wooley so much. He’s got some other fun, lesser known films, including one with the awesome Thelma Ritter

#TheBishopsWife #TCMParty

I had forgotten that Dudley basically invented voice text in #TheBishopsWife. #TCMParty

The fantastic part of this film is that Dudley, although an Angel, doesn’t really do anything mystical or supernatural, his greatest quality and power is that he treats everyone with respect, kindness and takes an actual interest in their lives. Something within us all.

#TCMParty #TheBishopsWife

I’m gonna be honest and reveal what an idiot I can be…it wasn’t until watching it right now did I realize that the Bishop’s old church was about to shut down and that’s where he has the huge mass at the end.

🤦🏻‍♂️
