An inspiring fantasy based on a Robert Nathan novel, Samuel Coldwyn's master craftsmen have devised a perfect setting for Dudley, an ingratiating angel played superbly by Cary Grant. Expert, too, in their roles are David Niven, as the Bishop who prays for guidance in building his cathedral, and Loretta Young, as his wife who fears failure of marriage. Scenes highlighting picture with gems of wisdom, appealing romance, and bubbling comedy show Monty Woolley, excellent as the professor whom Dudley inspires to write; the Bishop's enlightenment and jealousy; and other priceless sequences which make this picture Academy Award material. Samuel Goldwyn's production delves into the goodness of human beings with such gentleness that audiences will live in an aura of exalted happiness. That isn't easy to achieve in these troubled times! i 50
