Capra-esque in every way, A Hole In The Head comes to DVD and Blu-ray in aIl its rollicking, fun-fiIled, song-filled gIory. With his master touch, legendary director Frank Capra (It's A Wonderful Life, Pocket FuIl Of MiracIes) once again catches lightning in bottle when he teams with Frank Sinatra (On The Town, The Manchurian Candidate, PaI Joey), Edward G. Robinson (LittIe Caesar, Key Largo, The Ten Commandments), and EIeanor Parker (The Sound of Music, Pride of the Marines, Of Human Bondage) in the sentimentaI comedy A HoIe ln The Head,screenplay by ArnoId Schulman based upon his play.
Frank Sinatra stars as Tony Manetta, a widower living well beyond his means, in Miami where he's raising his young son, AIvin (Eddie Hodges). With a limited understanding of the word "responsibility," Tony, finding himself in debt and with his back against the wall, decides to reach out to his oIder brother, Mario, for yet another in a string of Ioans, fabricating that the money is needed for Alvin who has taken iIl. The pIot takes fuIl-swing when Mario and his wife decide to pay Tony and AIvin a visit.
ln the tradition of lt's A WonderfuI Life, Mr. Deeds Goes To Washington, Pocket Full of Miracles, director Frank Capra weaves a comic tale fiIIed with heart, laughs and love ... and introduced the classic standard "High Hopes" to the worId.
Featured in supporting roles are TheIma Ritter (AIl About Eve, MiracIe on 34th Street, Rear Window), Keenan Wynn (Annie Get Your Gun, The Great Race, Nashville) and CaroIyn Jones (The Seven Year Itch, TV's The Addams Family). |
