Pocketful of Miracles plot

"You have to see it to belove it!"

The casino owner still believes in miracles and when a debtor dies, he hopes to find happiness in an apple he buys from an old woman. Happiness really seems to come when the daughter of the deceased goes to work for him. The apple lady has a less good Christmas because she cannot be with her daughter overseas.

Director Frank Capra was reportedly so disappointed after filming (particularly due to the constant infighting on set between lead actors Glenn Ford and Bette Davis) that he threw in the towel and never made another film. The film itself, however, is not all that bad, although it is considerably too long and occasionally on the exaggerated and silly side. The plot is fun, but the jokes and gags are milked for too long, causing things to bog down halfway through into farcical situations. Aside from that, the characters do have the necessary charm, and the dialogue and situations are often very funny. Incidentally, the film is a remake of Capra's own *Lady For A Day*.
