Before Tammy Baker there was Barbara Stanwyck playing a preacher woman for a con man. They hit it big with a money making church but dear old Barbara's character develops a guilty conscious when blind man David Manners steps into her life. Once again we find religion being abused for all the wrong reasons by a bunch of ratbags, (is there a right reason?). Through the rough edges of this modest film, we can see Capra toying with his future craft and the good thing about it is that he does get it right in years to come.
