Re: The Bishop's Wife

I am not sure that love would be the right word. I think he experienced something akin to love, but I think that he fell in love with the concept of love, and wanted to stay. I think he liked the idea of building a life with someone, rather than entering a life, doing his job, then leaving for another job. He comments at the end of the film that he would like to stay. But I think it is more because of his desire to have the life that the Bishop has. In the end, the Bishop's jealousies, well founded or not, forced him to appreciate his wife more. Certainly, if you are David Niven, and an angel shows up looking and acting like Cary Grant, and you have an attractive wife, I suspect that jealousies will rear their head. Better an angel that looks like Ernest Borgnine.
