This is a much older movie than I normally watch, but I would watch it again, and again. The old style of camera work, the effectiveness of glances between characters - the use of the eyes - all very well used to develop the mood and ultimately the story.
There was a long speech by the theater manager which exemplifies the moral, religious attitudes of many at that time. Seems really phony by today's standards, but not out of place at all in this setting. It is also a key to the miracles that happen before the conclusion of the movie. It provided the morality lesson in a story cluttered with wrong-doings.
Noticed one continuity error. Generally people wear their wrist watches on the opposite wrist than the hand with which they write. The detective states he is left-handed - appropriate to the script. Later we see his watch on his left wrist. Enough for a smile, but not at all enough to damage the quality of the movie or story.
I was surprised and delighted by how much I enjoyed this old movie. I will watch it again.
