If you loved Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, try Pocketful of Miracles
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Frank Capra, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
playful
What Pocketful of Miracles is
Capra aims for that sentimental sweet spot again. A gangster and his moll try to class up a beggar woman, Apple Annie, because her daughter is marrying into European royalty. It is exactly the kind of film you expect it to be.
