Blake and Madame La Gimp getting themselves married, too, and going to Detroit where Judge Henry G. Blake claims he has a brother in the plumbing business who will give him a job, although personally I think Judge Henry G. Blake figures to do a little booting on his own hook in and out of Canada.

He gets me to one side, too, and wishes to know who Herbert Bayard Swope is, and when I explain to him, the Pale Face Kid gets so swelled up he will not speak to Death House Donegan, who is only Mister William Muldoon., Well, it seems to me they are getting too strong when they announce, Vice-President of the United States, the Honorable Charles Curtis, and in pops Guinea Mike, and I say as much to Dave the Dude, who is running around every which way looking after things, but he only says, Well, if you do not know it is Guinea Mike, will you know it is not Vice-President Curtis?.

Woefully sentimental comedy-drama directed by a sadly out-of-touch Frank Capra, here remaking his own 1934 picture "Lady For a Day" but not updating it much--"Pocketful of Miracles" plays just like 1934.

With "Pockeful Of Miracles" Frank Capra remakes his own "Lady For A Day" with Capraseque results - that means a mix bag with mostly delightful stuff in it - The major problem here is Glenn Ford, not as an actor but as a producer. Pocketful of Miracles is not merely out of whole cloth, but out of date, and watching it is a painful experience. I admire the transformation of Bette Davis, great work along with wardrobe and make up departments! User Ratings I can think only of three directors who were capable of blending drama and comedy in a way that makes you applaud after the film ends.Billy Wilder,his mentor Ernst Lubitsch and of course,Frank Capra.Pocketful of Miracles(1961)is Capra's final feature and he ended his glorious career in a truly miraculous fashion.I have read many reviews which pointed out many flaws of this film,but I have to disagree.There are many elements that make this film a true masterpiece.Firstly,the screenplay based upon the story by Robert Riskin and Damon Runyon is wonderful--it is filled with witty one-liners that make you laugh and cry,and it embodies the spirit of Broadway.It is wrong to say that this film doesn't make you think after seeing it-it is much more than just a morality story,with tastefully and artistically presented characters.Secondly,there is absolutely top-notch cast,most of the actors make truly memorable performances(except for Peter Mann,who was rather stiff).Glenn Ford is a fantastic,somewhat forgotten actor,who embodied Dave the Dude superbly.As a prominent gangster and bootlegger who has a thing for Annie's apples,he is simultaneously tough,ironic,charismatic,and incredibly charming in his obstinacy and tenacity.Bette Davis again demonstrates why she was considered the best actress ever.She masterfully portrayed the complex and nuanced character of an alcoholic beggar who controls the beggary on Broadway.She actually shows that even a beggar can be stylish.And the love she has for her daughter Louise-that's magical.Beautiful Hope Lange is great(as always)in the role of Dave's lover Queenie,who wants to move to Baltimore with him and have children.Her change of heart towards Annie is wonderful.The supporting cast is adorable.Peter Falk deserved an Oscar for his inspirational and truly funny portrayal of a distrustful gangster Joy Boy.Thomas Mitchell made his last performance as a pool-hall-junkie-judge who stands in for Annie's husband.And he did it exceptionally.Ann Margret makes her debut as Annie's loving daughter.The direction is flawless,as usual when Capra is in charge.All these elements should make this film an unforgettable experience,and not just a film you watch for fun(no classic film lover should watch films just for fun). ), this overlong & frankly anachronistic feature feels like a last ditch effort to make something important but just by its sheer length & tendency to let actors yell & carry on, those efforts are scuppered. It's not bad, but the scriptwriters for the movie "Lady for a Day" did a bang-up job improving their source material, and providing better rationales for what motivates a crew of mobsters to all come together to pretend Madame la Gimp (Apple Annie in the movie), washed-up Broadway dancer and seller of day-old newspapers and flowers purloined from cemeteries, is a wealthy society matron, so her daughter can marry the son of a Spanish count. Of course, nobody ever takes the newspapers she sells, even after they buy them off of her, because they are generally yesterdays papers, and sometimes last weeks, and nobody ever wants her flowers, even after they pay her for them, because they are flowers such as she gets off an undertaker over on Tenth Avenue, and they are very tired flowers indeed. The tale is sardonically narrated by one of Dude's henchmen. The first thing he does is to turn Madame La Gimp over to Miss Billy Perry, who is now Daves ever-loving wife which he takes out of tap-dancing in Miss Missouri Martins Sixteen Hundred Club, and Miss Billy Perry calls in Miss Missouri Martin to help.
