Friday Night at the movies – The Bishop’s wife
It is a story about an angel (Cary Grant) who helps a
bishop (David Niven) with his problems.
Some film quotes:
Dudley (angel): Sometimes angels rush in where fools fear to tread.
Matilda: Nobody expects him be normal; he's a bishop.
Prof. Wutheridge: For some time now, every time I
pass the cemetery, I feel as though I'm apartment hunting.
Henry Brougham: Tonight I want to tell you the story of an
empty stocking. Once upon a midnight clear, there was a child's cry. A blazing
star hung over a stable and wise men came with birthday gifts. We haven't
forgotten that night down the centuries; we celebrate it with stars on
Christmas trees, the sound of bells and with gifts. But especially with gifts.
You give me a book; I give you a tie. Aunt Martha has always wanted an orange
squeezer and Uncle Henry could do with a new pipe. We forget nobody, adult or
child. All the stockings are filled... all that is, except one. And we have
even forgotten to hang it up. The stocking for the child born in a manger. It's
his birthday we are celebrating. Don't ever let us forget that. Let us ask
ourselves what he would wish for most... and then let each put in his share.
Loving kindness, warm hearts and the stretched out hand of tolerance. All
the shining gifts that make peace on earth.
Another film to add to my to-see list
Will see if the library has it.
