The Miracle Woman is a 1931 American pre-Code drama film[1] directed by Frank Capra and starring Barbara Stanwyck, David Manners, and Sam Hardy.

Based on the play Bless You Sister by John Meehan and Robert Riskin, the film is about a clergyman’s daughter who becomes disillusioned by the mistreatment of her dying father by his church.

[2] Florence Fallon is outraged when church elders, in order to make way for a younger preacher, fire her minister father after his twenty years of selfless service.

Her bitter, impassioned speech impresses Bob Hornsby, who convinces her to become a phony evangelist so they can squeeze donations out of gullible believers.

Soon, she attracts a devoted national following, but the religious sham comes tumbling down once she meets and falls in love with John Carson, a blind war veteran.
