This is a classic 1940s black and white film, which we'd never seen before the end of 2006 although the DVD had been on our shelves for a while.
It stars David Niven as a Bishop, who is so busy that he barely has time to be with his wife and daughter. It also stars Cary Grant as a slightly unlikely angel, in a suit, sent to help.
There are lots of amusing incidents, and some parts that are quite moving. We thought it very well done, in an era without computer graphics or simple special effects, and the story is good with a thought-provoking message.
Definitely recommended if you like a bit of sentimental nostalgia and a feel-good story.

An airplane engineer tries to convince people that a plane is going to crash.
2.5/4 (Okay).
I'm never a fan of the nobody-believes-the-protagonist trope. This has some nice character moments, though. The charm of Jimmy Stewart and Glynis Johns manages to carry the movie.
