The Man Who Could Work Miracles

A humble office worker named Mr. Fotheringay lives in a peaceful English town when he finds out he can perform amazing feats. He starts by making a lamp float in the air, then does more incredible things that mess up the natural order of the world. When something terrible almost happens, he gives up his special abilities. This is the first of three movies based on H.G. Wells' story about a man who can work miracles.

The classic story about the bloke who could.

The first of three adaptations of H.G. Wells' fantasy tale about a man who discovers he has the power to work miracles. In a quiet English village, Mr. Fotheringay, a modest clerk, first levitates a lamp and then begins a series of miracles that disturb the balance of nature. After a near-catastrophe, he renounces his powers.
