Questions About This Episode

What is 155: The Preacher's Wife (1996) about?

Kerry and Collin take a look at the remake of The Bishop's Wife (1949, episode ), the Penny Marshall-directed The Preacher's Wife , starring Denzel Washington, Whitney Huston, Courtney B. Vance and Gregory Hines. While the film sticks with the original's principal characters, it adds a lot of plot to the storyline that does not always benefit the overall outcome.
