THE BISHOP'S WIFE (1947) Movie REACTION!

[@terenzo50]

A good Christmas movie! Another four are Christmas In Connecticut (1945), Miracle On 34th Street (1947), It Happened On 5th Avenue (1947) and A Christmas Carol (1951) aka Scrooge in the UK. Just some personal favourites.

[@howardadamkramer]

Agree on all of the above, especially A Christmas Carol (1951).

[@michaeldmcgee4499]

The TNT version with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge is also very good.

[@cjpreach]

The little girl who played DEBBIE in this film played little ZUZU in "It's a Wonderful Life." And the boy who said Debbie couldn't throw a snowball as far as he could spit played Young George Baily.

[@vermithax]

Two of the child actors were also in It's a Wonderful Life, filmed the year before. The daughter here was Zuzu Bailey, and the mean kid throwing snowballs played a young George Bailey.

[@Finians_Mancave]

I was just going to come here and point that out (since Madison reacted to It's a Wonderful Life last year)!

[@johnmaynardable]

@@Finians_Mancave Me too.

[@michaelm6948]

Madison, you're getting deep into my annual Christmas watch list with this one!!! Please consider "Holiday Affair" with Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh. It's a fun Christmas romance.

[@jamesharper3933]

I was going to suggest Holiday Affair too. Great deep pick.

[@raloria9173]

I agree with the recommendation of "Holiday Affair". I watched it for the 2nd time last week (I first found the movie last Xmas). It's another delightful old film!

[@sticklebacksummer]

Two great English actors together,who could ask for more.

[@recyclerhopkins]

Madison, a movie you should eventually check out is The Man Who Came to Dinner (1941) which stars Monty Woolley, the actor who played the professor. It's a fun movie that has an all star cast that includes Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan and Jimmy Durante , that could be classified as a romantic (screwball) comedy with many twists and turns.

[@algie-t2w]

I agree with you regarding The Man Who Came To Dinner. A marvellous film. The scenes between Jimmy Durante and the nurse are particularly funny!

[@deanrobertoleson4669]

Every year The Bishop’s Wife is the first Christmas movie we watch. We love it.

[@michaelbrennick]

Cary Grant got his start in comedy, first with a circus in Great Britain, then in Hollywood. Two of his best, in the screwball comedy genre, are "Bringing up Baby", and "His Girl Friday".

[@michaeldmcgee4499]

My favorite is "My Favorite Wife" To me, it's the funniest film ever made!

[@wraithby]

⁠@@michaeldmcgee4499I just rewatched it again a few weeks ago....Irene Dunne was brilliant.

[@mikecurtis2716]

Don't forget Cary Grant in "Arsenic and Old Lace". Good Halloween movie!

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

I just recently rewatched Bringing Up Baby and for some reason didn't enjoy it as much as I did when I was younger. I can still rewatch My Girl Friday and Arsenic and Old Lace over and over again.

[@billolsen4360]

He was also an acrobat in the circus during his teens and went onto do a lot of his own stunts in the movies. Very envious of the dude.

[@tommiller4895]

Three other great older Christmas movies are: "The Shop Around the Corner" starring Jimmy Stewart (the inspiration for "You've Got Mail"). "Christmas in Connecticut" starring Barbara Stanwick. A great scre-ball comedy. "It Happened on 5th Avenue". A heart warming comedy.

[@philisett1888]

These are great! I would add "Remember the Night" with Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray.

[@thomast8539]

Yay! One of the best Christmas films and finally someone has tackled it. Good for you Madison.

[@aatragon]

I have been waiting for many a Christmas season for someone to react to this special movie, which will ever bring a tear to my eye. When my mother passed away, I recalled what Dudley says about the cab driver: "...his children and his children's children shall rise up and call him blessed..." Looking the phrase up, I was unsurprised to find it a paraphrase of a Bible verse, Proverbs 31:28. I then used the Biblical citation as the anchor point of my eulogy for her.

[@TedLittle-yp7uj]

Thank you for watching this wonderful Christmas movie. I notice in the comments that there are suggestions for " Christmas Carol," (1951) in which Alistair Sim gives the definitive performance as Scrooge. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is scarier, funnier, and more Dickensian than any other version.

[@TheTerryGene]

Alastair Sim is an absolute treasure as Scrooge. It lead me to other gems starring this unique actor.

[@charlescarter9600]

i love Alistair sims films he never fails to make me smile .particularly in his Ealing comedies like School For Scoundrels ,best days of your life and of course the st trinnian films

[@dow311]

I do love the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol, but I also do enjoy the 1992 Muppet Christmas Carol, the narrator in this version is the best.

[@dennis2966]

This has always been one of my favorite Christmas movies, but no one ever seems to know about it. It's been completely ignored by KZbin Reactors, until now. Bravo to you for reacting to a movie that deserves much more recognition. You just got another subscriber. I'm watching this on Christmas Day, so Merry Christmas to you!

[@MadisonKThames]

Thanks for the sub! Merry Christmas!🎄

[@howardadamkramer]

Nice choice! This was once a staple of the holiday movie lineup, but is becoming forgotten. I also completely agree with @terenzo50. This is especially true of A Christmas Carol (1951). This is absolutely the greatest adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Please do this one. No one else has.

[@long-timesci-fienthusiast9626]

Another classic film I try to watch every Xmas Eve. Alistair Sim was a wonderful Actor. If you have not seen it yet, you should watch the 1950 Comedy/Drama (The Happiest Days of Your Life). He stars in it alongside Margaret Rutherford & Joyce Grenfell. :)

[@jdlewis3706]

FUN FACT: Matilda, the maid, was portrayed by Elsa Lancaster, who is most famous for portraying the bride in The Bride of Frankenstein. ❤️

[@wolandbegemotazazello]

and was married to Charles Laughton at one time.

[@cliffchristie5865]

It took a while for me to discover this movie but it's become one of my favorites. And, for me, the ice skating scene is the most sublime - in a film that has more than one.

[@tgchism]

Very happy to watch you review this movie, it's a real gem! I've always loved this movie! My favorite character is the professor! He's much more perceptive than he gives himself credit for. He knew there was much more to Dudley than most could see. Also, this movie has a connection to my other favorite Christmas movie. The young boy that gets hit with the snowball played the young George Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life"!

[@wraithby]

A wonderful reaction to one of my favorite Christmas movies! Dudley helps everyone get back to their best selves. The bishop got lost in outward signs of success, but at the cost of almost losing what he loved, and the real goods a Christian should pursue. The widow was lost in feelings of guilt and loneliness over lost love. It's interesting that Dudley is able to use our human desires and refocus them back onto their right ends. It's so well written and acted to bring out these depths with a light touch. Legendary playwright and screenwriter Robert Sherwood wrote the novel and worked as screenwriter. A four time Pulitzer prize winner and an Academy Award Winner.

[@lloyddobler2227]

Yes! One of my favorite Christmas movies of all-time!

[@charlescarter9600]

so glad your doing this film ,its one of my christmas favourites but hardly ever gets to be on tv

[@RenfrewPrume]

You started tearing up in the outro because you were expressing profound thoughts that you know in your heart are true, and this always brings forth the emotions. You have a depth of understanding that is almost unmatched among reactors. I skipped this reaction when you brought it out because it had been more than 50 years since I saw this movie. I recently rewatched it, however, and then decided to watch your reaction, and I’m so happy I did.

[@kschneyer]

I love the way you responded to this film.

[@toddfuresz462]

Madison, thanks for viewing this one. My mother passed away over Thanksgiving weekend, and this will be our first Christmas without her. Mom LOVED this movie (maybe she swooned over Cary Grant too) but of all the holiday movies this touched her heart more than others. Thanks for sharing and bringing back good memories from the past. A good one that needs to be seen by many this and every holiday season.

[@protoculturematrix4369]

What a fantastic reaction to a fantastic movie. You really knocked this one out of the park

[@mickizzo]

Not a Christmas movie, but one of my Cary Grant favorites is Father Goose.

[@GirlWithAnOpinion]

"FRAAAANK! GET THEM OUT OF HERE!!!..."😅

[@jamesellis1972]

One of this last movies. Also, another great Cary Grant movie is Operation Petticoat.

[@melanie62954]

Oh girl, you are missing out on the Cary Grant movies! The Awful Truth, Holiday, His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, Arsenic and Old Lace, (Hitchcock's) Notorious, To Catch a Thief (also Hitchcock), An Affair to Remember, Charade...those are a start. 😆 But first things first: The Shop Around the Corner is one of the most darling movies of all time, and my favorite Christmas movie, even beating out It's a Wonderful Life. You must watch it.

[@JC-rb3hj]

Wonderful Film, one of our favorites. A side note, the older boy at the snowball fight was the boy that played the young Jimmy Stewart that Mr. Gower slapped in "It's a Wonderful Life" and the child of the Bishop and Julia was Zuzu (as in Zuzu's petals).

[@ricksamericana749]

This is my all time favorite. Cary Grant's skating double was Eugene Turner, a U.S skating champion. The World War prevented Turner from skating in the Olympics. During the war Turner was a P-47 pilot with over 60 missions against the Luftwaffe. I advise you watch "His Girl Friday" with Cary Grant, Rosaland Russell, and Ralph Bellamy. It's one of the all time great comedies.

[@christopherschafer7675]

Loretta Young's son, Peter Lewis, was in a famous rock and roll band in the 60's. His daughter, Arwen Lewis, is taking her turn in the family business (show business), plying the trade as a singer.

[@rayvanhorn1534]

I was so thrilled when I saw this film pop up Madison! One of my absolute favorite Christmas classics, such a terrific heartwarming story. Something about the black & white films of the golden era, they just seem to have more sincerity & genuine storylines. The script was good, great casting & even today it can resonate. Yeah, I always wished I had Cary Grant’s magnetic charm, he was always so debonair. Really enjoyed your commentary, you gave great insight & picked up on the deeper meanings woven in between the main story. Hope you do more classics & if I could suggest a couple: “Christmas in Connecticut”, “The Shop Around the Corner” & “The Bells of St. Mary’s…each is simply fantastic!

[@snookyookum]

In my top three Christmas movies of all time. Such a gentle, loving story with sweet characters right down to the smallest part. I adore the professor and his simple acceptance of the supernatural nature of his new friend. Sensitive performances by everyone top to bottom and a treasure trove of fabulous character actors filling out the perfect cast. All of them are familiar to me because I grew up watching each of them in dozens of movies filling out the casts of famous and not so famous films. Look a few up, for instance Elsa Lanchester who played the Bride in the original Bride of Frankenstein in 1935. Thanks so much 😊

[@RABrillantes]

5:00 oh that mean rich lady actress was also in a old movie called Bernadette. she played an old mean nun. lol.

Song of Bernadette- beautiful film.

[@iznot2]

This is a very entertaining movie. I second the recommendation of watching the little shop around the corner. It's a yet another forgotten gem. This was another great reaction, Madison. Thank you and I hope that you Enjoy your holiday season.

[@rayvanhorn1534]

The Shop Around the Corner is an absolute terrific film & simply charming

[@anthonyvictor3034]

I think we can see ourselves in all the characters in this movie - and the angel is what we all really would like to be.

[@carlosurdaneta4361]

Excellent reaction and review of this classic movie. You have accurately captured the essence of what this 1947 morality tale was trying to convey. You probably know that there was a 1996 version called 'The Preacher's Wife', starring Denzel Washington in the role Cary Grant played and Whitney Houston as the wife and Courntey B. Vance as the Bishop. Personally I prefer the original, but it's probably because of my general disdain for remakes, especially if they are remakes of classic movies, which I find to be heresy! In any case, it might be worth watching, if only to compare the two very different historical and societal circumstances in which they were both shot..., and also to enjoy one of Whitney Houston's few acting roles.

[@michaeldmcgee4499]

I've never seen a remake that wasn't inferior to the original except for Hitchcock's remakes of his own films.

[@catherinelw9365]

@@michaeldmcgee4499 I would say the remake of Ben Hur in 1959 is better than the ones in 1907 and 1925. But that's the only one I can think of. You're right about 99% of them.

Lovely to watch your reaction! Briefly, the beautiful dogs name "is" told as Julia opens the front door at beginning ...Queenie. That said, most of the reviews do NOT show the amount of footage you brought forth .Wonderful! Wasn't sure if you knew Cary Grant was originally cast to play the role of bishop! He asked to switch after reading script. Also, so sad but the bishop played marvelously from( David Niven ) had lost his wife shortly before filming, Hats off to his fine performance. Unsure if you recognized any spiritual aspects. Wasn't sure if you knew angel guided the boys back to St Timothy;s. Note how he knows every ones name without being informed. The supporting cast is outstanding...,even little Debbie! Hats off to you for watching. So many overlook because of its age & lack of color. This fit Cary Grant so perfectly. Cannot imagine any- one other. What a fine review!!!Thank you!!!👼🌌🏆😊🎬

[@torikazuki8701]

This film is an excellent example that with all stories, whether Spoken, Written, or Filmed, it always comes down to the writing. If the writing is good, all else can be forgiven or overlooked. Of course, to be a good writer, requires far more than a large vocabulary, or being able to string sentences together in a clever way. Being able to communicate well is important, but more important is having something important to *Communicate*.

This is a very charming old movie. Strong human values which are timeless are in this movie that any family around Christmas time right up to today can relate. Also Cary Grant, David Niven, Elsa Lanchester and Loretta young and all supporting actors many of them children do a marvellous job. As the taxi driver in the movie says when you watch this movie .."your faith in humanity is restored" Well we all feel like the taxi driver after watching this great movie. This movie should be shown every year around the Christmas period. Movies like this are timeless.

Thanks Madison for another wonderful reaction to this classic movie, The Bishop's Wife - so beautifully shot, scripted and performed by a stellar cast. Great to see two of my favourite character actors of the period, Monty Woolley and James Gleason, playing relatively small but impactful roles in the film. Agree with other comments that recommend The Shop Around the Corner and Scrooge (1951). Another minor masterpiece with "Heavenly" themes that you may consider is Here Comes Mr Jordan with Robert Montgomery. Thanks again; keep the great reactions. You are the best in the business, by a long stretch.

[@jollypatt]

Love this movie! It’s a rare one that has a good remake, check out The Preacher’s Wife from the 1990s with Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston. Another great one with Loretta Young is The Farmer’s Daughter, very unique story for the era and she is charming as always.

[@billolsen4360]

Loretta Young was such a beauty! She was Marlo Thomas' Godmother. The actress playing Mrs. Hamilton, Gladys Cooper, also portrayed Bette Davis' mean old mother in "Now Voyager" from 1941. As you can still tell in 1947, she was a beauty queen around age 19.

[@randybass8842]

I love this movie as well. The first time I watched it, I had known of Cary Grant, but not of Loretta Young, so this introduced me to her. She had such a genuine, loving, infectious smile on her face throughout the entire movie. I've sought out other movies she was in, but none (IMHO) could match her performance in this movie. Also, Sylvester, the taxi driver, had to be a very good ice skater in real life to be able to stumble and act so clumsily on ice skates while staying on his feet. I think he was put into this movie to showcase his ability on skates.

[@rickpalacio7]

This was great, Madison! Personally, I always prefer the old classic Christmas movies to celebrate Christmas season, just as I usually prefer old-timey Christmas music to more contemporary Christmas tunes. There's just something so right, timeless, and sincere about them that I don't think most modern movies or music can compete.

[@TimothySmiths]

Some may find older films as this corny at times or too sappy, but I find them more genuine, more inspirational. Same goes for Christmas music, I rather listen to the old classics than some newer artists trying to put their own spin on it, it just comes across too commercial too crass for me. I also recommend as others have "The Shop Around the Corner", i watch that one every year.
