A Hole in the Head

Description

Directed by Frank Capra USA/1959/120 minutes/Color Like most of director Frank Capra's films, this film is an observant portrait of the fighting man and his repressive surroundings, but Capra offers a variation of the theme by revealing the obstacles as self-made. Tony Manetta (Frank Sinatra) is a gambler and womanizer, who blows his money at the first opportunity and now faces eviction and loss of his business (an Ocean Drive hotel known in the film as the "Garden of Eden" but in real life the Cardozo Hotel). Complicating his worries is his young son who lives with him. Despite their troubles, they want to stick together, because they're not only a family, but also a team.
