Über diesen Film

Each Christmas, an industrial tycoon and his family travel from New York City to Florida to spend the holiday season in the sun, and while they are gone, a philosophical homeless man takes up residence in the millionaire's Fifth Avenue mansion. Letting himself in through a hole in the fence, he puts on designer clothes, smokes expensive cigars, eats gourmet food, and opens up the townhouse to his homeless friends so that they, too, can share in the holiday spirit. When the real homeowner's daughter returns to NYC early and discovers the house has been taken over, the homeless haven is in danger of disappearing forever. However, the warmhearted nature of the homeless intruders reinvigorates the unhappy wealthy family, and everyone succumbs to the true spirit of Christmas. Starring Victor Moore ("Swing Time," "The Seven Year Itch"), Academy Award-nominee Ann Harding ("Holiday," "When Ladies Meet") and Emmy Award-nominee Charles Ruggles ("Bringing Up Baby," "The Parent Trap").

Just a great movie with a stellar cast. I love the songs in this. Typical tinpan alley greatness. Considering it was not available on video or DVD for many years, I'm thrilled to see it on the Play store.

What a movie! This is a must see at Christmas. We have watched this movie every year for sometime. It is on the top of our list to watch. It is warm, funny, caring but can move you in a great way. I wished they made movies like this today.

My strong, built like Mr. T, 53 year old brother loves this movie. He told me I had to watch it so he sent me this link. I have to say the clip I just watched looks absolutely adorable.
