The Bishop's Wife (1947)
From Amazon:
A Christmas perennial from 1947, this comedy/fantasy stars Cary Grant as Dudley, an angel who works his heavenly magic on an Episcopalian bishop (David Niven) who is struggling to raise money for a new church and who has grown distant from his wife (Loretta Young). While Young remains unaware of the angel's benevolent influence, this light comedy unfolds with abundant charm and lasting appeal. Featuring engaging performances from its stellar cast, The Bishop's Wife inspired the 1996 remake The Preacher's Wife, starring Denzel Washington and Whitney Houston. --Jeff Shannon (read more)

Often considered a Christmas film, this is only incidentally set in the season. This five-time Oscar nominated film, with a win for sound, was one of the best pictures of 1947, the year that brought us Miracle on 34th Street, and the Oscar winning Gentlemen's Agreement. Certainly a great year for films that make us think...
