Description

The Bishop's Wife (RKO, 1948). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Nominated for six Academy Awards, this Cary Grant romantic comedy remains a yuletide favorite sixty years after its premier. Originally, Cary Grant was hired to play the Bishop in the film and David Niven, the angel. Studio boss Samuel Goldwyn discarded that version shot by director William Seiter and started fresh with director Henry Koster. This one sheet is seldom seen today and is the first copy we have ever sold. The poster has pinholes in the corners and a bit of paper abrasion on the lower part of Loretta Young's skirt. Very Fine-.
