Body and Soul or Black Narcissus, but leaning toward the latter.

The three films I watched from 1947:

The Bishop's Wife--Another good role by Cary Grant
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty-- Danny Kaye vehicle.  Okay
Miracle on 34th Street-- I loved it as a kid, but time hasn't been as favorable to it.
