It Happened on Fifth Avenue (1947)
One of the most refreshing movies I have ever seen.
Victor Moore is fantastic as a homeless man who journeys between a wealthy, self made man's (Charlie Ruggles) winter and summer homes when the wealthy man is at his other home. The last words by Charlie Ruggles will make you cry for joy. "Remind me to board up that fence next year. He's coming in the front door." A unique, wonderful story. I wish everyone could see it, especially around Christmas time when it would be most appropriate.
Beyond the Blue Horizon (1942)
This comment is more of a fan than a critic.
Probably my rating is more sentimental than objective. I saw the movie when I was eleven years old in 1942, having developed a significant crush on Dorothy Lamour from her earlier movie, "The Fleet's In". Still, the movie was highly enjoyable and featured a lovely song entitled "A Full Moon and an Empty Heart" which I still occasionally play on the piano even now. I have never been able to get a recording of this song, nor have I been able to get a copy of the movie on videotape.
