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 (lt's A WonderfuI Life, Pocket FulI Of Miracles) once again catches Iightning 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 sentimental 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 AIvin who has taken ilI. The pIot takes fulI-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 fiIled with heart, Iaughs and Iove ... and introduced the cIassic standard "High Hopes" to the worId.
Featured in supporting roles are TheIma Ritter (All About Eve, MiracIe on 34th Street, Rear Window), Keenan Wynn (Annie Get Your Gun, The Great Race, NashviIle) and CaroIyn Jones (The Seven Year Itch, TV's The Addams Family). |
