The Man Who Played God
1932
The Man Who Played God is a 1932 American pre-Code drama film produced by Darryl F. Zanuck and directed by John G. Adolfi. George Arliss stars as a concert pianist embittered by the loss of his hearing, who eventually finds redemption by helping others; it also features a then little-known Bette Davis as the much younger woman engaged to the protagonist.
Warner Bros. promoted the film as an example of how studios could produce motion pictures of social and moral value without the oversight of non-industry censors. It was modestly successful at the box office and was among Arliss' most popular films.
The film was a remake of a 1922 silent film of the same name. It stars Arliss and is based on a 1912 short story by Gouverneur Morris. It went on to became the 1914 play of the same name and the 1915 film, The Silent Voice, written by playwright Jules Eckert Goodman.[2] In 1955 it was remade again as Sincerely Yours, starring Liberace.
