Frank Morgan plays the part of Sam Griggs, a man who likes to dabble in real estate despite his wife's admonishments. He passes away before a deal can be resolved, so he wonders if his family will be able to make ends meet. Needless to say, the plot involves the supernatural.
The entire ending of the film is about the resolution of the deal, and whether or not a trusted friend chooses a moral path. That might sound like serious stuff, but it is all played for comedy. The viewer, like Sam, is caught up in the humorous drama surrounding the results of his secret deal.
Morgan, always reliable, is terrific in his part. Kennan Wynn works closely with Morgan to create the humor in the final scenes. The surrounding cast plays Sam's kin and family friends who try their best to make good life choices.
In the end, the viewer can decide if there actually is a "miracle" and even if there actually is a resolution. Either way, it is entertaining to watch the buildup.
There are some excellent special effects for 1946.
