Pocketful Of Miracles (Movie)

It's on tonight @ 8:00pm on THIS TV channel 490 (NYC) If you like to smile and watch a fun movie, watch this one. The cast is great - Glenn Ford, Bette Davis, Hope Lange, Peter Falk and many more. There's not a lot on tv lately (IMO) so maybe, give it a try. The movie is about  a superstitious, Runyonnesque mobster, Dave The Dude (Glenn Ford) who turns a Beggar Woman, Apple Annie (Bette Davis) into a Manhattan Dowager. By his side, his girlfriend (Hope Lange) an one of his sidekicks,  Peter Falk and many others. I've seen this movie countless times. It's a remake of Frank Capra's 1933, "Lady For A Day". 

If you have time to kill and want to put your feet up, there you go!

Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life.

our cable system unfortunately removed THIS TV and it is too difficult to get via an antennae.

You've got me thinking about POM now - what a stellar supporting cast!

 

Besides Ann-Margret's debut, there was Arthur O'Connell, Thomas Mitchell, Mickey Shaunessy and Edward Everett Horton.
