Plot

Prominent surgeon Charles Grayson retires from his practice, intending to donate his money to charitable religious causes. His family launches a suit against him, hoping to have him declared legally incompetent and unable to manage his money. But Grayson's faithful niece Frances, an attorney, takes on his courtroom defense. Thanks to the testimony of many of his grateful patients, Brennan is declared sane and is permitted by court decree to spend his money as he sees fit.

Cast

Development

God Is My Partner was a remake of an earlier collaboration between Sam Hersh, Charles F. Royal, and William F. Claxton, the 1951 short feature film All That I Have, which starred Donald Woods, John Eldridge, Onslow Stevens, and Houseley Stevenson. Paul Cavanagh was the only actor to be cast in both productions. Both films were based on a story by Leete Renick Brown. [6]
