Pocketful of Miracles (DVD)

This movie shows how when your down and and on the streets that there is still hope. That you still have friends in the strangest places.
The movie gets you so involved in "the old bag lady" seeing her daughter who is marrying a prince. Glen Ford plays the hoodlum who believes in Apple Annies luck with her apples and has to have one every day and gets greatly involved in her life. This touches your heart and makes some people cry. Wonderful movie.Recommend to all.

I bought this movie to give as a Christmas gift but it did not arrive in time for Christmas (That was lucky for my family) This movie is wonderful!! I laughed and cried . If you love old classic movies this one is for you and yours. I was under the impression that for some reason this was a Christmas movie-- while it may have a few Christmas background scenes Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays are not the focus of this movie--it is about helping someone in need-- I give this movie thumbs up!!!!

It is a great classic movie which will make you smile. If you watch it, I promise you will leave with a smile too.

I loved this movie when I was a kid. I've looked high and low for it on dvd and when I found it I was thrilled! Have watched it several times and great quality and brings back great memories!!!

I had the seller send the DVD directly to my cousins as a gift. She was
most accommodating, letting me know when it would be sent and enclosing
my note with the DVD. It was well received. I couldn't ask for a better
transaction and hope to order more from this seller.

Pocketful of Miracles is a wonderful comedy with lots of laughs some tears too.
But it become a feel good movie and what a cast definitely worth watching.

This movie has all the elements of a hollywood classic: Written by Damon Runyon, who had the talent for capturing the heart of the everyday man, with his heart-of-gold gangsters and their ladies; directed by Frank Capra, whose influence in so many memorable movies is without parallel; The great Bette Davis, who cinches (like nobody else) the totally believable part of a lovable vagabond turned into a member of the hoi polloi, (like a modern day Cinderella), with the help of her loveable gangster friend, played by Glenn Ford.

To round out the star-caliber supporting cast includes Hope Lange as the tough talking, soft hearted mol to Glen Fords character; Peter Falk, who has never been funnier, as Glen Fords characters' second in command, who 'just can't understand why his boss is putting all this energy in the transformation of "Apple Annie" (Bette Davis); the most memorable, and proper Edward Everett Horton, who helps this little band of misfits pull off this charade with helpful little ettiquite hints that only he, as the butler, would know. And, of course, Ann Margaret, in her introductory roll as Apple Annie's sweet young daughter who had been raised abroad, whose sudden arrival in the big apple prompts this gang into acting out this elaborate charade, in order to keep Apple Annie's daughter in the dark about Annie's "true identity".

It's pure delicious escapism, without a lot of thought provoking themes, but PLENTY of heart and soul: They don't make 'em like this anymore!

All this review is what I REMEMBER of the film, having not seen it for many years; it is THAT GOOD! And now, I will stop writing about this movie, and actually sit down and enjoy it, like visiting with a good old friend.

We bought this dvd because Frank Capra directed it and we love his films and his take on the U.S. and its citizens. We were not disappointed. This is a charming film with many Capra touches and characters, especially Dave the Dude and Apple Annie. Excellent quality dvd.

I have always loved this movie. The stars take you back to a different time and put you in an enjoyable state of mind.

Excellent movie-- loved by all ages. The characters were well cast and although it is an old movie, even our younger children love it. We had it on vhs and now wanted it on dvd.

Seems to be a GREAT DEAL...can't wait to get my DVD.....been looking for awhile......advertised as NEW...will wait and see..
