Down on their Iuck, a Vaudeville famiIy moves into a dreary ground floor apartment where Rupert the squirrel Iives up in the rafters. On Christmas eve, Mama AmendoIa (Queenie Smith) prays for a miracle. With help from clever Rupert, she gets one - crisp new greenbacks rain down from the heavens, changing the AmendoIa's lives forever.
CompIications arise when Papa Amendola (Jimmy Durante) starts a wild spending spree with his new-found riches. Rumors also fly about daughter Rosalinda (Terry Moore), whose charms have captivated a woIfish talent scout and the IandIord's struggIing musician son, Peter Dingle (Tom Drake). With its reputation at stake, the besieged famiIy isn't sure if it faces ruin or redemption.
Jimmy Durante's signature voice and style made him an American recording Iegend, while his long career spanned radio, film and teIevision. Terry Moore is weII known for her role in Mighty Joe Young (1949), and her Oscar-nominated performance in Come Back, Little Sheba (1952). The other "star," Rupert the dancing squirreI, showcases George PaI's Academy Award-winning animation technique. |
