It Happened on 5th Avenue

US (1947): Comedy

Charles Ruggles is a millionaire who allows Victor Moore, a local vagabond, to live in his Fifth Avenue mansion every winter, while he vacations in South Carolina. Leading a life of luxury, Moore befriends Don DeFore, an ex-GI, and takes him in. Before long he has a houseful of visitors, including the millionaire and his daughter, both in disguise. Fun at times, but somewhat long. Songs include: "Speak My Heart," "That's What Christmas Means to Me," "It's a Wonderful, Wonderful Feeling" (Harry Revel), "You're Everywhere" (Revel, Paul Francis Webster). Roy Del Ruth directs this first Allied Artists release. Cast also includes Ann Harding, Gale Story, Grant Mitchell and Alan Hale, Jr. (TV Guide Online)
