Viewing Notes
Requested this from the library when I saw that Jackie Chan’s Miracles was a remake. Okay sure it’s a similar story but I wouldn’t call Miracles a remake of this. But perhaps Jackie saw this movie or another like it and was influenced. Then again he loves old Hollywood so maybe he just wanted to make his own version of this story.
The movie is good thx to the great cast and Capra’s direction. Hope Lange MVP. Best thing is the insane amount of character actors from this era. Look at that list!
