This is a sweet and whimsical holiday film, filled with laughter and great acting. It also leaves you with the wonderful sentiment that you do not have to have money to be rich. This is about a homeless drifter Aloyiscious and his dog Sam. He figured out a way to live comfortably through the year...with out a job or any real means. In the winter, three days after the family moves back to their Virginia home, Al sneaks into the second richest man in the world's 5th Avenue home in New York...where he lives comfortably till March when the family moves back in. He and his dog Sam encounter a young ex-soldier sleeping on a park bench. Jim has recently been evicted from his apartment because a certain Michael J. O'Conner is turning it into an 80 story office building. After an unfortunate incident involving San the dog and water...Al invites Jim back to his place which it turns out to really be Michael J. O'Conner...which is how they meet his daughter Trudy when she runs away from her finishing school. They mistake her for a girl who is down on her luck and they all begin dwelling together. One becomes two, two becomes three and three becomes eleven as New York is experiencing a post war housing shortage.
Some of my favorite scenes involve the fabulous Michael J. O'Conner...like when he thinks his daughter had a baby with Jim, when he is shoveling snow...and when he is throwing tomatoes at "Michael j. O'Conner"!
Great comedy, sweet romance (young and old) and a warm holiday shared amongst found friends.
It has all the makings of a wonderful holiday film that you can share with the whole family.
My favorite line, "It's as empty as a sewing box in and nudist camp."
