You're killers, liars, thieves, six days a week! And on the seventh, you're hypocrites! - (Stanwyck)

Barbara Stanwyck in Frank Capra's The Miracle Woman, as Florence Fallon, calling out the deacons and congregation of the church where her father had served as reverend. He died in poverty while the church was in the process of replacing him with a younger man. Disillusioned, Florence will soon become Sister Florence Fallon, a phony evangelist.
Made in 1931 during the pre-Code Hollywood era, Capra was beginning to establish himself as a director who demanded his independence. (Columbia's Harry Cohn apparently gave it to him.) The screenplay by Jo Swerling, based on a novel called "Bless You, Sister", by John Meehan and Robert Riskin, was reportedly inspired by the life of evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson.

Stanwyck was one of the best. She shines here as always. 🙌🏻

Barbara Stanwyck was a ball of fire when she had on-screen tirades. To me, it was like a light bulb flashing on and off. And she looked beautiful while she was at it. Furthermore, while the world saw Stanwyck, she was Ruby Stevens (Barbara's real name) going through the trials and tribulations of life. From that tough upbringing in New York, the road took her to the Ziegfeld Follies, Broadway, and Hollywood. The rest is history. I love these pre-code Stanwyck films. Thank you for the clip from The Miracle Woman.

A five-minute masterclass in great acting.

This why she was picked to be Victoria Barkley on the Big Valley.
