Since then, our feelings remain unchanged,

Want To Watch A Movie?
Finally we have arrived at my favorite Christmas movie of all .β¦ a grand old B&W from 1947 called The Bishopβs Wife starring the dashing Cary Grant, the exquisite Loretta Young and the suave David Niven. This is the plot:
A debonair angel named Dudley (Cary Grant) comes to earth to help Bishop Henry Brougham (David Niven) and his wife (Loretta Young) in their quest to raise money to build a new cathedral. Henry is skeptical, then annoyed when Dudley ingratiates himself into the household as his assistant — and worse, wins the attention of Henry’s long-suffering and kindly wife. When Dudley continues to intervene in Henry’s struggles, the bishop decides to challenge heaven.
This movie pushes all the right buttons; itβs charming, inspiring, melancholy, exciting and funny (the ice skating scenes had me LOL!).
Hereβs something I learned after watching the movie: Cary Grant was originally cast as the bishop and David Niven as the angel. One day while going over their lines, Grant and Niven (who were also great friends) thought they were better suited for each otherβs roles. The actors voiced their opinion to the director who decided to switch the characters. I canβt imagine the movie turning out as good as it did if the two actors hadnβt switched roles.
Here’s the trailer:
Iβll save you a seat. Enjoy the movie! π₯ πΏ π₯€

Want To Watch A Movie?
Bill and I have agreed (for research purposes) to watch more movies with a holiday theme. This is our first one and, boy, it’s an oldie but a goodie …. a true classic with one of my favorite actors …. Jack Lemmon. Itβs not exactly a holiday movie, but most of the drama unfolds during the Christmas season, which earns it a spot on my list. The Apartment, which won five Oscars (including Best Picture), follows a lonely insurance worker named C.C. Baxter (Lemmon). To climb up the corporate ladder, he starts to lend his Upper West Side apartment to company bosses who are having romantic affairs. However, things get complicated when Baxter learns that his own manager is hooking up with the woman he has feelings for. They don’t make them like this anymore. Here’s the trailer:

Want To Watch A Movie?
Here’s a flick we hadn’t seen in a while. We watched it again last night and remembered why we enjoy it so much. If you’re looking for something that’s very funny with just a touch of sentimentality, then this one is a good choice for you. It’s a no-brainer; sit back and be entertained by Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds and Betty White in “The Proposal”.
This is the premise: When up tight New York editor Margaret faces deportation, she convinces her assistant Andrew to marry her in return for a promotion. However, when she visits his hometown, it changes her in many ways. Here’s a clip:
