Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Bishop's Wife is a 1947 comedy-fantasy directed by Henry Koster, starring Cary Grant, David Niven, and Loretta Young.Bishop Henry Brougham (Niven), newly promoted to his position, is stressed out with the pressure from raising funds to build a new cathedral for his diocese. His work stress is putting pressure on his marriage to Julia (Young). A distraught Henry prays to God for guidance, and his prayer is answered with the appearance of Dudley (Grant), an angel sent to help Henry find his way. However, Dudley starts proving a little too helpful, especially with all the attention he pays to lovely Julia, causing Henry, the only person who knows what Dudley is, to become jealous.This film was given a Race Lift in 1996 and remade as The Preacher's Wife, with Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston playing the parts originated by Grant and Young.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| The Bishop's Wife / int_d7fb8ab6 | comment |
Church Lady: Soft-spoken church matriarch Julia is neglected by her ambitious but well-meaning Preacher Man husband until "Dudley," an angel sent to answer the husband's prayers, enters the picture (though the wife is unaware of Dudley's true nature) and starts paying attention to her, as part of an Operation: Jealousy that turns into In Love with the Mark on his part. The fact that an actual angel falls for her is a testament to her goodness, and notably, in the original film, when Dudley confesses his attraction to her, she tells him to leave, proving her devotion to her husband despite how kindly Dudley treated her. | |

But Now I Must Go: Those are the rules for a guardian angel once they've completed their task. Dudley is pretty sad about it, because he's grown tired of wandering and he's become attached to Julia. | |
