About Pocketful of Miracles
Pocketful of Miracles is a 1961 American comedy film, starring Glenn Ford and Bette Davis, produced and directed by Frank Capra, filmed in Panavision. The screenplay by Hal Kanter and Harry Tugend was based on Robert Riskin's screenplay for the 1933 film Lady for a Day, which was in turn adapted from the 1929 Damon Runyon short story "Madame La Gimp". That original 1933 film was also directed by Capra—one of two films that he originally directed and later remade, the other being Broadway Bill (1934) and its remake Riding High (1950). The film was the final project for both Capra and Thomas Mitchell. It marked Ann-Margret's film debut. Peter Falk was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
