Description

The Bishop's Wife (RKO, 1948). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
Cary Grant stars as the angel that answers the prayers of Episcopal bishop David Niven who's intent on building a new cathedral. Grant just might be a little too charming, though, as the bishop soon begins to see the "angel" usurping his place in his household, and with his wife Loretta Young. Niven originally was slated to play the angel, with Grant as the bishop, but they agreed to swap right before filming. A worried Niven peers questioningly at Grant and Young on this fantastic half sheet, that shows fold wear, pinpoint crossfold separation, creasing in the borders and along the vertical fold, bottom right corner chip, and light paper loss in the upper background. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.
