The Miracle Woman

In Frank Capra's powerful adaptation of a Broadway play (loosely based on the life of Aimee Semple MacPherson), Barbara Stanwyck turns in a superb performance as a pastor's daughter enlisted by a con artist to pose as an evangelist. Using all sorts of tricks, Stanwyck becomes the top faith healer in America, but has second thoughts when she falls for a blind ex-pilot. With David Manners, Sam Hardy. 90 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
