 Warner Brothers had planned to make a film version of "The Miracle"  as early as 1942, with Henry Blanke producing. The 1942 version was  supposed to have followed the original play more closely, but the  project was scrapped. It was revived in 1952, but was again  scrapped, and in 1959, Warners finally released a film of it. The  story was heavily revised, and the time period changed from the  Middle Ages to 1810.
