Ratings and reviews

Great movie, angel helping us humans. Truly delightful. Watch every year. Have hung Christmas stocking for Jesus for years.

There are a lot of great Christmas movies but there's something about The Bishop's Wife that captures everything I want in a Christmas movie. The remake was pretty good too but not the same.

One of my all-time favorite movies. Awesome list of actors. Superb.
