**Screenwriters**: Nat Mauldin, Allan Scott **Producer**: Samuel Goldwyn Jr. We always knew Denzel Washington was an angel on Earth, now see his type casting against Pop Princess Whitney Houston in this feel good holiday romp from the great Penny Marshall.  Good-natured Reverend Henry Biggs finds that his marriage to choir mistress Julia is flagging, due to his constant absence caring for the deprived neighborhood they live in. On top of all this, his church is coming under threat from property developer Joe Hamilton. In desperation, Biggs prays to God for help – which arrives in the form of an angel named Dudley. Now Dudley’s got eyes for Julia, and who can resist Denzel Washington? A warm-hearted twist on old holiday cliches, featuring rousing gospel numbers, and the screen magic of Whitney and Denzel, this charmer is cinematic comfort food at its tastiest! **Picks from the Video Store** We’ve got oodles of unstreamable holiday classics to take home tonight, check out these gems! *Emmett Otter’s Jugband Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964), The Lemon Drop Kid* **Accessibility Options**: Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
