After "The Bishop's Wife" The Wrap Party at Ole' Hardwood

The November 9, 2010 screening of The Bishop's Wife was an enjoyable holiday treat for those in attendance. For many, it was the first time they had seen the perennial Christmas classic. The movie concerns a young bishop and his wife as they try to raise funds to build a new cathedral and the conflicts that ensue.

The stars, Cary Grant, Loretta Young, and David Niven are in top form. Grant plays Dudley, an angel sent from heaven to assist Young (the bishop's wife) and Niven (the bishop) with the cathedral plans. Dudley also helps them restore their marriage, which has been suffering under the stress of the cathedral building campaign.

After the film, about 15 of us went to Ole' Hardwood at 1351 S. Wabash Ave. Ole' Hardwood opened in late October in the space formerly occupied by Utopia.
