"The Miracle Woman" (1931) Columbia 400' B&W Super 8mm Sound Digest

Stanwyck plays an evangelist (patterned after Aimee Semple McPherson)
Florence Fallon (Barbara Stanwyck) is outraged when her minister father is fired after many years of selfless service to make way for a younger man. She tells the congregation what she thinks of their ingratitude. Her bitter, impassioned speech impresses Bob Hornsby (Sam Hardy), who convinces her to become a phony preacher for the donations they can squeeze out of gullible believers. She builds up a devoted national following. Then, she meets a blind John Carson (David Manners), falls in love, and the whole rotten sham comes tumbling down.
Fine performances, direction, and camerawork (by Joseph Walker).
The story, direction and acting make this a must see for all Barbara Stanwyck and Frank Capra fans.
