It certainly deserves to be. The bishop is trying to build a new cathedral, and he's so entrenched in his fundraising that he's watching his own marriage crumble around him. Loretta Young is devoted, moist-eyed, and basically a great date for the tempted Dudley. They drink in the afternoon, go skating at night, and make impulse buys. The skating sequence beats mightily on one's suspension of disbelief, but the rest of the film is an absolute joy.
Grant is suave, worldly, and enchanting.
A wonderful present for anyone who has not seen it. In one of her signature roles, Young plays the Swedish housekeeper for Congressman Cotten and his mother Barrymore, who sees how the political game is played and decides she can improve on it as the Reform Party candidate. The mixture of romance and politics brings some wonderful moments that will make you laugh, and may even bring a tear to your eye. Charles Bickford was also Oscar nominated as Clancy the butler in a supporting role. This is an easy, warm comedy that benefits from the expert performances of the entire cast.
