Julie (Sheila Guyse) is an ambitious young woman with big ideas for her elderly Aunt Hattie’s Harlem candy shop. Aunt Hattie (Hilda Offley) not only trusts Julie to take over, but she is so preoccupied by a premonition of her impending death that she rehearses her own funeral. When a corrupt competitor offers to help expand the store but instead swindles the women into signing it over to him, he unknowingly drags them into an entanglement of crimes and persecutions that they both courageously defend themselves against. Released during the twilight of race films—all-black productions geared to black audiences—Miracle in Harlem is an engrossing whodunit sprinkled with jazz performances, comedy, and romance. But what it most admirably expresses is the love and loyalty between two virtuous women who mean business.
