PlotA group of seven people - an actress, a blind girl, a financier, a gangster, an heiress, a hostess, and a pilot - survive an airplane crash to find themselves deserted in an African jungle. The group come across an old hermit who has been living on the island for a while. The hermit teaches them how to survive in the jungle, though the unrepentant gangster is eaten by a crocodile. Eventually, a member of the group named Larry uses a canoe to get off the island. Larry locates a helicopter and flies back to the island, where he picks up the rest of the group. Although they offer the hermit a ride, he declines the offer, feeling he has become too attached to the jungle. ProductionMiraculous Journey was directed by Sam Newfield, credited under the pseudonym of Peter Stewart.[2] His brother Sigmund Neufeld produced the film. Rory Calhoun, Virginia Grey, Audrey Long, George Cleveland, Jim Bannon, June Storey, Thurston Hall, Carole Donne, and Andrew Long appear in the film,[1] as does dog actor "Flame."[3] Fred K. Myton wrote the screenplay, with John H. Greenhalgh, Jr., handling the cinematography and Holbrook Todd doing the editing.[1] Leo Erdody scored Miraculous Journey; it would be his final film credit.[4] The film's production took place from late March to mid-April 1948.[8]Cast
Release and receptionThe film was distributed by Film Classics, Inc., and premiered on September 1, 1948.[5] Alpha Video released Miraculous Journey on DVD in 2012.[5] Film critic Leonard Maltin gave Miraculous Journey one star and a half, feeling that it was "substandard".[6] TV Guide gave the film two stars out of four, noting that while the film had potential, the film lost its effect "because of the filmmakers' inability to decide whether the story should concentrate on the moral aspects or the action."[7] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Miraculous Journey|url=http://www.allmovie.com/movie/miraculous-journey-v102473|work=Allmovie|accessdate=November 6, 2013}} 2. ^1 {{cite book|title=Motion Picture-TV Production Encyclopedia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kVI5AQAAIAAJ|year=1949|publisher=Hollywood Reporter|page=222}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Flame the Dog|url=http://www.allmovie.com/artist/flame-the-dog-p23769|work=Allmovie|accessdate=November 6, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=Clifford McCarty|title=Film Composers in America: A Filmography, 1911-1970|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IK7tuydSUpQC&pg=PA96|year=2000|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-511473-7|page=96}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite book|title=The American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures: Film Beginnings|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YZkrAQAAMAAJ|year=1941|publisher=R.
