In 1947, Samuel Goldwyn and RKO pictures brought forth a classic Christmas romance movie based on a 1928 novel written by Robert Nathan about an angel sent to help a young bishop who prayed for guidance but instead fell in love with the Bishop’s wife.  The Bishop’s Wife was released on December 7, 1947 receiving excellent reviews eventually becoming an annual yuletide classic.  Just two months later, the original cast Cary Grant Loretta Young and David Niven reunited for a one time only radio performance.
