With his master touch, legendary director Frank Capra (lt's A WonderfuI Life, Pocket FulI Of Miracles) once again catches Iightning in bottIe when he teams with Frank Sinatra (On The Town, The Manchurian Candidate, Pal Joey), Edward G. Robinson (Little Caesar, Key Largo, The Ten Commandments), and Eleanor Parker (The Sound of Music, Pride of the Marines, Of Human Bondage) in the sentimentaI comedy A Hole In The Head,screenpIay by Arnold SchuIman based upon his pIay.
