Love the movie! Wanted to have my own copy.
This film takes place in what is now a hotspot--Miami's South Beach. However, in 1959, the year of this film, it was not so hot. Frank (around our house Mr. Sinatra is "Frank") was never more charming than in this film where he tries to manage a hotel that's not paying off and a life that's not doing much better. The best part about his life is his 11-year-old son. Frank dreams and schemes and tries and hopes to make a million. His current big dream is--get this--to buy up a lot of ocean- front property,tear down all the rundown buildings in South Beach ("you can get 'em for a song," he says)and build a...Disneyland. His old war buddy, Keenan Wynn, who has become a millionaire, strings him along for a while and then tells him that the Disneyland is great idea--for Disney! The dynamic duo of Edward G. Robinson and Thelma Ritter, as Frank's older brother and sis-in-law, is a pairing made in Hollywood Heaven. The son, Eddie Hodges, is right on the money--sweet but not cloying. There's nothing about this Capra film, in fact, which should call forth the old critic's paronomasia, "Capra-corn." Personally, I would change nothing--especially the opening, as the Good Year blimp pulls the opening credits on translucent banners while flying above the Fontainebleau, the Eden Roc and the white Miami beaches, underscored by the in-top-form Sinatra voice singing, "All My Tomorrows." Here's where I have to put in "full-disclosure" disclaimer. I lived in Miami shortly after this period and sang gigs at the Deauville Hotel, the Desert Inn, and the Sandpiper, sailing for one year in and out of Miami as singer on a Cruise Ship (the Flavia). Also, the cruise director on my ship at that time, Hal Fisher, plays the cab driver in the final scene of the film. So, for me, it's like watching home movies. But, topping even all that off is this: I had a little boy who was 11 years old at the time and our relationship was in a number of ways comparable to that of the father-son in "A Hole in the Head." Now, all that aside, I bet you'll still find yourself agreeing with me about this warm and amusing film--at least, I have "High Hopes." - Vance Garnett
Great movie for entire family, even if the kiddies don't know who Frank Sinatra is !
Frank Capra's best film, in my opinion better than "It's A Wonderful Life." Near perfect casting, excellent script that veers from comedy to pathos to a happy ending that manages not to be saccharine. Edward G. Robinson and Thelma Ritter in top form as Frank Sinatra's much older brother and sister- in - law. Okay the sparks between Frank and beatnik girl pal Carolyn Jones are a tad forced, but that doesn't matter much since clearly the relationship is based on animal attraction and nothing else. Eleanor Parker is good as the widow who sees something worth having in Frank. (Though her confession of how her husband AND young son accidentally drowned is strangely composed...). Eddie Hodges is wonderful and natural as Frank's son. Their duet on the title song is a gem. The Miami Beach setting is a fascinating time capsule (1959 "populuxe," including convertible with fins and a swimming pool party at the Fountainbleau Hotel!) Lastly, Keenan Wynn's boorish tycoon is a masterpiece. Why don't they make funny, touching movies like this any more? (Well, rarely anyhow.)
This was wonderful. My cousin wrote the screenplay and the original play, so I am prejudiced in his favor; I hadn't seen the movie since I was 10 years old when it first came out, and I saw it in summer camp; the movie is actually autobiographical and although I do not know all the various relatives (the author is my 92-year old mother's first cousin whom I have never met, the little boy in the story), the author's great dialogue accurately portrays the characters and their backhanded and nearly insane brand of love and caring, truly depicts how my family really is, believe it or not. It was not easy growing up in this family and I have distanced myself from them as much as possible because I experienced being smothered; but their love cannot be denied, and how they always end up supporting each other through thick and thin is true, despite our various character flaws and our own human stupidity.
I like this seller. They have a great selection to choose from. They keep you up to date on the entire transaction. I definitely el buy their quality merchandise.
While not considered to be one of Frank Capra's classics A HOLE IN THE HEAD remains a very enjoyable film. Capra was used to being in complete control of his films but when this was made Hollywood had drastically changed from the 1930s and 40s. The stars had the power even more than the director. Capra enjoyed working with Frank Sinatra and soon learned that his best performance was given on the first take. Capra told Sinatra that if he dropped his singing and put all of his efforts into his acting that he would likely develop as one of the greatest actors of the screen.
Because Amazon has a very restrictive attitude when it comes to explicit sexual content or very explicit swear words, that is why I am removing this Blu-ray Review of ‘A HOLE IN THE HEAD’ [1959] [Blu-ray] and now adding it to my professional Google Chrome web site, that comes on stream in February 2019. The other negative attitude of Amazon, is that in 2018 they started a policy of if you bought a Blu-ray Disc in one country, you can only do a review in that country and I think that is not a nice attitude, whereas with my web site, there is no restrictions, so see you there.

A Hole in the Head is a "genuinely entertaining" (Newsweek), OscarÂ(r)-winning* comedy, directed by the legendary Frank Capra at his uproarious best! Meet Tony (Frank Sinatra), a wannabe big shot who's constantly broke. And while the carefree widower may not have money, he is rich in one respect: he's got the unconditional love of his adoring young son, Ally (Eddie Hodges). But when Tony asks his wealthy brother, Mario (Edward G. Robinson), for a loan, Mario, who disapproves of Tony's swinging lifestyle, agrees to back his brother on one condition: settle down or give him custody of Ally! Tony may be desperate, but he'd have to have A Hole in the Head to agree to Mario's terms wouldn't he? *1959: Music (Song, "High Hopes")
A pair of Franks make an agreeable meal in A Hole in the Head , the movie that brought together messrs. Sinatra and Capra. While Sinatra was on his movie-star hot streak, Capra had been out of film for a few years, having conquered Hollywood in the 1930s and then fallen out of love with it. Capra found in Arnold Schulman's stage play a different kind of hero from his past Mr. Deeds and Mr. Smith: a Miami hotelier with big debts, young son, wayward eye, and, well, high hopes. The role fits Sinatra like a blue-eyed glove: he dodges creditors while hoping for a handout from his disapproving older brother (Edward G. Robinson), who in turn strongly wishes his younger sibling would settle down with a nice widow (Eleanor Parker) instead of a free-spirited, bongo-playing kook (Carolyn Jones). Meanwhile, kid (Eddie Hodges, from the stage version of The Music Man ) believes in his old man, to a fault.
This easygoing tale shows Capra in a mellow, cooled-off mood; the propulsive rhythm of his 1930s pictures is nowhere to be seen, and the film does go on too long. He hits his stride when Sinatra approaches an old friend (Keenan Wynn) in search of backing for his big dream, a Florida resort modeled after Disneyland. (A Disney resort in Florida? Crazy.) Those scenes, which mash up excitement, disappointment, and humiliation, are the old sweet-sour Capra formula. Of Sinatra's two Sammy Cahn-Jimmy Van Heusen tunes, "All My Tomorrows" plays under the opening credits, but wasn't the song people whistled as they exited the theater. That was "High Hopes," the irresistibly catchy hymn to optimism, sung by Sinatra and Hodges in an appealingly loosey-goosey two-shot. It won the Best Song Oscar; the other nominees never had a chance. --Robert Horton

The film introduced the song " High Hopes " by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen , a Sinatra standard used as a campaign song by John F. Kennedy during the presidential election the following year. [4] Sinatra portrays a lowlife dreamer named Tony whose old friend Jerry Marks, now a rich man, expresses interest in his plan to build a Disneyland in Florida (the film predates Walt Disney World by twelve years)—until Jerry notices that Tony seems too desperate when the latter cheers for a dog upon which he's bet heavily. The movie ends with Tony, his lady friend Eloise, and his son Ally singing "High Hopes" on the beach. Sinatra sings "All My Tomorrows," another Cahn/Van Heusen song, under the opening titles.
Tony Manetta moved from the shabby area of the Bronx , New York to Miami, Florida with two friends, searching for wealth and success. One friend became prosperous over the next 20 years (owning luxury hotels) and is a promoter, while his younger friend drives a local taxi. Tony manages a small hotel called Garden of Eden. He grew up poor but spoiled, spending money on expensive suits and a Cadillac , despite always being in debt and refusing to become more responsible. He is also a widowed father of an 11-year-old son named Alvin (nicknamed Ally).
In debt, the rent five months in arrears, Tony is given 48 hours by his landlord, Abe Diamond, to raise $5,300 or else lose the hotel. In desperation, Tony calls his older brother Mario, who owns and operates a clothing store and has already loaned Tony money multiple times. Tony lies and says he needs a loan because Ally is ill. Mario and wife Sophie promptly fly from New York City to Miami and discover the truth.
In Mario's eyes, Tony is a bum who wastes money on fanciful dreams rather than honest, hard work. He agrees to stake Tony the funds but only for a sensible small business, not dreams of fancy hotels or casinos. Mario also sets him up with Eloise Rogers, a widow and an acquaintance of Sophie, who is considered a more appropriate companion for Tony than his current girlfriend, Shirl.
To his surprise, Tony is impressed with Eloise. Ally also takes an immediate liking to her. Mario offends her, however, with prying questions about her late husband's will and finances, causing Tony to confess why they were introduced. Eloise reveals to Tony that, having lost both her husband and son, she appreciates the notion of being with someone who needs her.
The old childhood pal, Jerry Marks, now a wealthy promoter, invites Tony to a party. Pretending to be prosperous, Tony explains his scheme to buy land in Florida and open a second Disneyland there. Jerry seems interested in being his partner again.
He takes Tony to a greyhound racing track, where Tony uses the $500 he earned from selling his Cadillac to match Jerry's large bet. His dog wins, but he lets it
