Christmas classic movie of the week

I understand Hallmark channel (which we don't have here) is full of Christmas romances.

But for those who don't have access to them, a favorite chickflick at Christmas, The Bishop's Wife is on internet archive to download or watch.



it was remade with Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston as the Preacher's Wife, but it was a failure:

Myself, I felt Houston was too bitter to be likable, and while the original had the bishop working hard to build a cathedral (worthy, but essentially vain), the remake had the wife bitter at a husband out trying to save lives and souls.

Sort of reminds me of a lot of bitter doctor's wives, who resented their husband going out to save lives instead of taking them out to cocktail parties.


the soundtrack however is great
