Two celestial beings (played by George Sanders and Torin Thatcher) observe human affairs from their lofty perch, contemplating existence, affection, and the quest for contentment. They then resolve to grant one man—"George" (Roland Young)—unrestricted influence, simply to gauge his capacity to manage it effectively. At first, he’s overwhelmed by these newfound capabilities, but he proves himself sensible enough to avoid becoming a power-hungry tyrant that such abilities could easily foster. His journey involves learning swiftly how to distinguish those worthy of confidence: the local clergyman "Maydig" (Ernest Thesiger), who urges him to use his gift for benevolent purposes; the boisterous "Winstanley" (Ralph Richardson), advocating its deployment on behalf of the monarchy and nation; and "Grigson" (Edward Chapman), envisioning it as a means to acquire global dominance. The film is adapted from an HG Wells narrative, prompting viewers to consider how they might react if presented with a comparable ability—a sort of “Midas touch.” It presents, in a cheerful and amusing fashion, the dilemmas facing humanity and the factors that shape those decisions, remaining surprisingly pertinent even now. George Zucco and Lady Tree also provide enjoyable supporting performances, while for admirers of later "Miss Marple" productions, Joan Hickson appears in an early role. The film provides amusement alongside thought-provoking elements—it's certainly worth seeing.
