An Original Vintage Movie Script (measures 8 1/2" x 14", 100 pages) (Learn More) The Miracle Man, the 1932 Norman Z. McLeod gang-uses-faith-healer-to-scam-people crime melodrama (based on the play by George M. Cohan) starring Sylvia Sidney, Chester Morris, Irving Pichel, John Wray, Robert Coogan, Hobart Bosworth, Boris Karloff (in a small role as a tavern owner!), Ned Sparks, Lloyd Hughes, Virginia Bruce, Florine McKinney, Frank Darien, and Lew Kelly. Note that this movie was made on April 1, 1932, and Frankenstein had been released in November of 1931. But obviously, this movie was in production in late 1931, and Paramount did not realize how big a star Karloff would be from Frankenstein, so even though it was released months later (and six films later), Boris Karloff was not pictured on any of the posters, and because he was seventh billed in the movie, he was not billed on any of the posters either, because the most credits any of them had was six. So if you are a Boris Karloff collector, and want something showing him from this movie, your best hope is the lobby cards. But because this is a Paramount movie, and because Paramount did not make title cards at this time, the only way to get Karloff on a lobby card is to get one of the two lobby cards that picture him, but they are extremely rare! Finally, note that the studio must have prepared the posters before Frankenstein had its great success, but they did manage to add in a last minute text credit for Boris Karloff in the pressbook that reads, "Boris Karloff, the monster of 'Frankenstein', brings a sensational ability into his underworld character of 'Nikko'."!
