Review of The Bishop's Wife (1947) by Paul S — 31 Dec 2017
The movie has some redeemable dialog such as this quote by James Gleason: "The main trouble is there are too many people who don't know where they're going and they wanna get there too fast.
" But the movie is altogether a terrible idea in my opinion. Angel or no angel, you can't romance someone else's wife on "religious duty" and call it a cure when the real husband decides to fight for his wife.
Too many loose ends, and it's less than adequate to have them all tied in the end by the angel just removing himself from everyone's memory. Real or not, an angel is a religious figure that shouldn't be associated with the seeds of infidelity.
Something of that nature might be better described as a ghost or even a demon.
