Answer: The Bishop's Wife

When Bishop Brougham becomes increasingly preoccupied with raising money to build a new cathedral, God sends a suave (and surprisingly human) angel to answer his prayers for help. It soon becomes obvious that the bishop's desire to succeed has overshadowed his family, his duties to his parishioners, and his commitment to serve the needy. Through a series of small and sometimes humorous miracles, Dudley the angel (Cary Grant) guides the minister and his flock back to a simpler and far more meaningful path. David Niven, Loretta Young, and Monty Woolley co starred in this Oscar winning classic. (Submitted by Coonielady)

Answer: Richard Gere

There you go, Richard Gere typecast again. David was one of the most complex characters of the Old Testament; a murderer and adulterer, yet God said he "was a man after my own heart". Gere played David with Edward Woodward as Saul and Alice Krige as Bathsheba. The movie was filmed in Italy. The scenery, though, could not save it from a savaging by the critics. His role earned Gere a Golden Raspberry. Richard Gere starred opposite Julia Roberts in the 1990 movie "Pretty Woman" about a man who fell in love with a hooker.
