INDEXER NOTES (SPOILERS!)

Release—The <a href='https%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt0029201%2Freleaseinfo'>IMDb</a> lists the earliest release as being in London on 23 July 1936, but does not indicate whether this was a theatrical release or some kind of formal premiere. However, based <a href='https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DhiZDazsTuDEC%26pg%3DPA144%26lpg%3DPA144%26dq%3DThe%2BMan%2BWho%2BCould%2BWork%2BMiracles%2Bpremiere%2BJuly%2B1936%26source%3Dbl%26ots%3DFClt8XPjYr%26sig%3DACfU3U1VAr10kPzhWSERs2xX3q6ibyBpnQ%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26ved%3D2ahUKEwja5u32-qjlAhVQnp4KHVBBCrgQ6AEwA3oECAgQAQ%23v%3Donepage%26q%3DThe%2520Man%2520Who%2520Could%2520Work%2520Miracles%2520premiere%2520July%25201936%26f%3Dfalse'>Korda: Britain’s MOvie Mogul</a>, page 144, it seems that the late July release was the theatrical release (a “month” after a 4 July preview) that fared “extremely poorly at the box office” and caused Wells to dispair that he was “more than a little disappointed with films.”
