Synopsis

Stanwyck's particularly fine as evangelist Florence "Faith" Fallon, who becomes very successful thanks to her way with words, some fake miracles, and the talents of shady promoter Hornsby (Sam Hardy). After blind ex-pilot John Carson (David Manners) hears her on the radio, he decides Faith might be able to cure him. Florence winds up falling in love with John but Hornsby starts to worry she's going soft and will end their scam.

Even Capra apparently thought this film was corny but it still works. Based on the play "Bless You Sister" by John Meehan and Robert Riskin.

Critics' reviews

"There isn’t much doubt that Capra can do more with Barbara Stanwyck than any other director. Her performance here is splended"
