Full Plot Details

George McWhirter Fotheringay, while vigorously asserting the impossibility of miracles, suddenly discovers that he can perform them. After being thrown out of a bar for what is thought to be a trick, he tests his powers and eventually sends a policeman to Hades by accident. Worried, he sends the police officer to San Francisco, and seeks advice from the local clergyman, Mr Maydig. Maydig, after having Fotheringay's powers demonstrated to him, quickly planning for reform of the world by means of miracle, but eventually Fotheringay orders a miracle which, due to clumsy wording, backfires. He relinquishes his power and returns to the time before he had it.

Movie Reviews

Monthly Film Bulletin - 6/10 by MFB CriticsThe acting is competent but the casting imperfect, and the dialogue too often stilted and given to harangues.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UFor 1936, B&W and no hollywood interference, this is brilliant. A classic british sci-fi but without aliens. Just god, maybe.
User Review - 10/10 by Bill Wthis Movie came long before "Bruce Allmighty" - based on a Story of H. G. Wells - that surpasses the 100-Minutes-Commercial for the Grimace-Maker in each Point and, above all, manages without obligatory Christian Proselytization.
User Review - 10/10 by Christopher BAn HG Well classic, which speaks to society today as much as it did a century ago. As with most quality movies, it may have a slow start but it methodically builds to a fantastic (& insightful) final half-hour. Technically excellent filmography and FX for 1937.
User Review - 10/10 by John BLoved this movie when I first saw it maybe I was 7
User Review - 8/10 by James H81/100. Wonderfully imaginative film, there aren't too many like this one. Roland Young is wonderful in the lead, the special effects are really quite amazing, especially considering the year in which it was made.
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VThis H. G. Welles story is probably my favourite fantasy movie of the thirties. Young gives a good performance as a man who gets the power to perform miracles. The plot may seem familiar to us now, but this movie is still worth seeing, the ending is pretty cool, and the movie has a lot of humorous scenes, both intentional and unintentional humor. I enjoyed this movie, it makes me wonder what I would do with the power to work miracles. What would you do?
User Review - 8/10 by Philip MPoo to Bruce Almighty, watch this instead.
User Review - 8/10 by Gavin MForget all the modern crap that pulls on this material. This is another under rated SF classic based on a Wells classic. It's examination of choice and the corrupting effects of power is one marks this out as a film that anyone serious about their movies should see. Read the story as well.
User Review - 8/10 by Scott WCharming Wellsian fantasy with 'dialogue and scenario' by H.G Wells himself. A splendid cast includes Ralph Richardson, Ernest Thesiger, George Zucco, George Sanders, Joan Hickson and Roland Young as George McWhirter Fotheringay, the man gifted with the power of miracles. The special effects are also great fun.
