I have sentimental attachments to this movie because it was the first one I saw in a theatre when I was a kid. But there are many more reasons why "A Pocketful Of Miracles" has a place in my heart.

And there's a soft spot for Dave The Dude in spite of his mobster dealings. We hope and pray he does the right thing.
