    You're remembering The Man Who Could Work Miracles. Made & released in England in 1936, starred Roland Young as the meek clerk who the gods give the gift of miracles. Written by H.G.Wells, also author of The Time Machine, The Invisble Man, War of the Worlds..

    A fun and sometimes thought-provoking little comedy, with some very good special effects for its time. It's been released on VHS & laserdisc, but I don't know if it's bveen released on DVD just yet.
