MAN WHO COULD WORK MIRACLES (1936)

LOTHAR MENDIES

Plot

A mild-mannered shopkeeper is made the unwitting guinea-pig in a divine experiment. As the benefactor of immortal powers his ambition seems to go no further than trying to impress the girl of his dreams, but when greedier mortals try to exploit his talents he decides to assert his authority, throwing his heavenly benefactors into celestial chaos. An impressive version of HG Wells' classic tale about the avarice and power-lust of the meek.
