The Miracle Woman Blu-ray Movie
Sony Pictures | 1931 | 90 min | Not rated | No Release Date | Kenneth Brown
Sister Fallon, a young woman with a gift for religious oratory, gains fame through the efforts of an unsavory promoter who stages phony "faith healings" during her services. At first seduced by the money, she soon grows weary of the deception and tries to escape the racket, a situation that becomes a genuine trial by fire. Loosely inspired by the famous California evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson and Sinclair Lewis's novel ELMER GANTRY, THE MIRACLE WOMAN was one of Capra's few box office failures for Columbia Pictures, but it remains a fascinating expose of religious charlatans and phony faith healers.

Forbidden Blu-ray Movie
Sony Pictures | 1932 | 85 min | Not rated | No Release Date | Kenneth Brown
On an ocean voyage, Lulu, a thrill-seeking, small-town librarian, enters into a carefree affair with Bob Grover, a lawyer with major political ambitions. Even though she learns that Grover has an invalid wife and will never leave her, Lulu continues to carry on their affair in private, despite the fact that she now has an illegitimate child to consider. When a newspaper editor threatens to expose the couple publicly, tragedy ensues. Capra's attempt to create a popular "women's picture" in the style of a Fannie Hurst soap opera like BACK STREET is made credible by the strong performances of Barbara Stanwyck, Adolphe Menjou and Ralph Bellamy.
