Vintage The Man Who Played God (1932)

This is a beautiful movie, based on a true story. Most of us are acquainted with the story of the elderly deaf philanthropist who watched people in the park through a spyglass, reading their lips, and then sending them the help they required, while remaining incognito himself. D.B. Berg mentioned this film in "My Love is a Legend". George Arliss plays the part of Montgomery Royale, a wealthy concert pianist who is passionately devoted to music. Early in the movie he states that his two best friends are "God, and my [late] mother," and he is as happy as a wealthy celebrated artist can be. Tragedy strikes when he suddenly becomes stone-deaf, and he is faced with a future without any music. Defeated, he decides to end it all, until a fortuitous occurrence gives him new hope for life, and restores his faith in a living, wonderful God, who hears every prayer, and answers them in mysterious ways.

This movie was a battle to find and download from start to finish. And then I happened to find these links to it, and everything went much quicker. The quality is anything but wonderful, but considering this film is from 1932, it's not that bad. Incidentally, it was George Arliss himself who chose Bette Davis for this part, and afterwards she maintained that she owed her consequent long and successful acting career to him, as the one man who believed in her and gave her a chance to show her talent.
