I have seen 10 films directed by Henry Koster . I would rank The Bishop's Wife his third best film, after Harvey and The Robe.

Many people think Grant and Niven should have switched characters.

William A. Seiter was the original director, but producer Samuel Goldwyn didn't like what he had shot and brought in Henry Koster to shoot a completely new film. The preview audience didn't like the new version, so Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett had to rewrite a couple of scenes without screen credit.

Fun fact: Originally Cary Grant played the bishop and David Niven the angel. When original director William A. Seiter left the film, Henry Koster replaced him and viewed what had been shot so far. He realized that the two were in the wrong roles.

This was remade in 1996 as The Preacher's Wife with Denzel Washington. I saw that version at the theater when it came out, but it wasn't as good as the original.

Loretta Young and David Niven were both Oscar winners. Cary Grant was nominated twice, but never won an Oscar.
