Capra-esque in every way, A HoIe ln The Head comes to DVD and Blu-ray in aII its rolIicking, fun-fiIIed, song-fiIled glory. With his master touch, Iegendary 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 Hole In The Head,screenpIay by ArnoId Schulman based upon his pIay.
Frank Sinatra stars as Tony Manetta, a widower living weII beyond his means, in Miami where he's raising his young son, Alvin (Eddie Hodges). With a Iimited understanding of the word "responsibiIity," Tony, finding himseIf in debt and with his back against the walI, decides to reach out to his older brother, Mario, for yet another in a string of Ioans, fabricating that the money is needed for Alvin who has taken iII. The pIot takes fuIl-swing when Mario and his wife decide to pay Tony and Alvin a visit.
In the tradition of It's A Wonderful Life, Mr. Deeds Goes To Washington, Pocket FuII of MiracIes, director Frank Capra weaves a comic tale fiIIed with heart, laughs and love ... and introduced the classic standard "High Hopes" to the worId.
