Why this movie is not being shown every year alternating with "It's a Wonderful Life" I do not know. This 66 year-old masterpiece is hilariously funny and amazingly fresh for such an old film. None of the usual overacting and bawling to the back of the gallery that is usually found in movies of that period. I liked it more than the remake, "Pocket Full of Miracles." Most interesting was the character of Maguire (of the sore feet). He was a predecessor of the almost obnoxious Captain Luther of the Barney Miller TV series.
