My favorite Xmas movie by far. It always puts me in the spirit! Wonderful acting by all involved. Second choice is White Christmas!
Why would AMC air this movie at such inconvenient times when most people are unable to watch it?
I love this movie and the Preacher’s Wife! Great movies, acting was superb and it makes Christmas feel like warmth and love!!
The Bishop’s wife gets you in that old Christmasy feeling. You wish things were like that today. Cary Grant is the best actor of all time. He makes this movie truly special. I love this movie! I watch it every year.
The Bishops Wife was the best Christmas movie I have seen. I saw it for the first time with my mother and we loved it….Thank you
