book angel is named MICHAEL is more innocent and FIRST helps the bishop by doing money mortal imho greedy materialism crap for a expensive cathedral than care for his poor followers church goers at the crumbling older church. THEN MICHAEL meets the wife JULIA bathed in goodness aura switched in the film, where FILM Dudley FIRST is taken in by Julia's pain in her goodness and THEN finds her husband to help her by helping him.
The book has era language used for the setting and inner dialogues of the main characters AND SEX ORGASM PASSION ATTRACTION is couched in terms indirect thought by Henry, Julia and Michael but it's for that time a uber Brontë fanfic romance story using an Angel vs a vampire/werewolf/scifi alien as lover and the Bishop as the hard unloving husband.
We GET to have an angel confess his creation was for love giving help and PLEASURE, initially giving a quick smooch and UNlike film the end MICHAEL actually holds embraced caresses the wife JULIA but she finally gets scared and rejects what they're doing.
[☺MY The Bishop's Wife 1947 FILM REVIEW Edit to scenes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOkj3_JdrXA ] ] I loved the 'in jokes' of all the women swooning for him. The initial casting had David Niven as the angel but after enough read throughs and sides it was totally unbelievable David the Angel could swoon Cary Grant's wife even if he was a stodgy bishop the audiences wouldn't go for it plus Cary has subtle humor skills for the lol segments, that &music why I love this movie for the 'Angel falls for inlove with a human' and resists leaving. It made the schmoopy tolerable and wholesome not rammed into your face trickle sweet.♥Unlike Loretta Young, I'dve said Yes stay you hot sexy angel!
- Cary Grant's yearning desire looks of pained restraint of the forbidden for Loretta playing the goodness innocent in no way being a tease, just her purity was light drawing Dudley like a moth to a flame.I imagine what #Julia sees we cannot is #Dudley's face starting to glow blur into quantum EM field flame and feathers hinting flicker off his shoulders of his soul trying to break free to be mortal near Julia - SCARES THE LIVING HELL out of her ==== Dudley realized the spiritual danger he was in with his emerging emotions of mortal love when in a short angered 'crotch comparing' response(when Angels have no genitals??fictional assumed) when Bishop Henry wanted to crude fight Dudley over his wife and Dudley threatened he in a flash could destroy Henry poof. Here imho is the possible dark fallen angel side of Dudley(Cary can be scary) using a threat that forces the Bishop to announce his devotion love for Julia finally Cary-Dudley WALKS slowly BLOCKS the stairs from ANGRY-Henry going to verbally abuse JULIA *Dudley backs down and saves them BOTH for the love of Julia-
