Trivia:
In the version of the Christmas sermon dictated to the typewriter by Dudley, the following is shown typed onto the paper: "You give me a tie. I give you a book." However, in the pulpit on Christmas morning the Bishop reverses these two sentences when he reads, "I give you a book. You give me a tie." moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double when Dudley shows Julia how he can spin on the ice; he appears shorter. moreQuotes:
Henry Brougham: Are you expecting a letter?Dudley: Well, you never know. If I did get one, the stamp would certainly be worth saving.

Holiday favorite with a fine cast. Cary Grant is the angel who entrances women the way Peter O'Toole did in 'What's New, Pussycat" but we're on a little firmer moral ground here. Fine supporting cast includes James Gleason as the skating taxi cab driver and Monty Wooley as the history professor.
