The Man Who Played God Synopsis
After losing his hearing, a musician uses lip-reading to help others.
A Child of God Synopsis
Schoolteacher Frances Angel finds herself attracted to wealthy rancher Jim McPherson but finds his rough-hewn ways objectionable, so when he proposes marriage she rejects him. Her father asks her to return to his home in the East, where her former boyfriend Chet Condon now holds the mortgage on the family home and is threatening to foreclose on it unless Frances marries him. When she also learns that her recently-widowed sister Jane is also moving back east with her newborn, Frances is torn between her duty to her family and her love for Jim.
"The Man Who Played God" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Child of God" offers its own unique cult appeal.
