The Fall Of The Society For The Diffusion Of Useful Knowledge

Characters: Henry Brougham and Julia Brougham

Media: The Bishop’s Wife (1947)

Played by: David Niven and Loretta Young

Setting: 1940s, New York City

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bishop Henry Brougham is the overworked, frustrated clergyman of a New York parish, struggling desperately to raise the funds for his long hoped-for cathedral but neglecting his family in the meantime.

Julia Brougham is Henry’s gentle-spirited wife who longs to spend time with Henry and their daughter Debby the way they used to in their smaller parish, but her hopes of bringing back the old Henry seem pointless.

Henry and Julia’s tense marriage is jolted by the arrival of a suave angel named Dudley, the answer to Henry’s plea for heavenly help at Christmas time. Reluctant to accept Dudley’s help, Henry is chagrined to see his entire family, staff, and household becoming attached to Dudley instead of him. Julia finds new cheer and happiness in her time with Dudley, but though the intended orchestration of the angel is not to steal her heart, Henry soon finds himself battling with Dudley for Julia’s love. The love triangle is not complete, however, as Julia loves her husband staunchly and believes that a Christmas miracle will be enough to restore their family.
