Miracles for Sale
Miracles for Sale is a 1939 American mystery film directed by Tod Browning, and starring Robert Young and Florence Rice. It was Browning's final film as a director.[1] The film is based on a locked-room mystery novel by well-known mystery writer Clayton Rawson, Death from a Top Hat, which was the first to feature his series detective The Great Merlini. In this film, Merlini's character has been changed into Michael Morgan (The Amazing Morgan) as portrayed by Robert Young. Don Diavolo, another series character in Rawson's work under his pseudonym, Stuart Towne, appears here as Dave Duvallo.

gollark: I suppose I *could* just harvest all user data/souls for later analysis and ML.
gollark: Yes, """machine learning""" will solve all problems ever.
gollark: They USED to.
gollark: Anyway, mind-reading is entirely doable but unfortunately most people's minds contain annoying irrelevant content rather than the specifics of the search query they just made.
