Pocketful of Miracles

In this classic film, a cunning gangster and his stylish girlfriend concoct a dazzling transformation for a destitute street performer, Apple Annie, to wow royalty after discovering her daughter is set to marry into nobility.

Apple Annie, a charismatic beggar, is a beloved fixture in downtown New York City. Her apples bring good fortune to bootlegger Dave the Dude, who falls for her charms. When Annie's daughter Louise, raised in a Spanish convent, arrives in America with a Count and his son, Annie's reputation as a society woman must be salvaged.
