A Hole In The Head

In this Frank Capra comedy-drama, widower Tony Manetta (Frank Sinatra) is a small-time hotel owner with delusions of grandeur. He seeks help from his wealthy brother (Edward G Robinson) and his wife, who regard him as a worthless dreamer, who's too irresponsible to look after his young son. Instead of giving him a loan, they travel to Florida to take the boy away from him. Then the couple comes up with another solution: finding Tony a suitable widow to wed. Their neat little plan runs into obstacles, however--like Tony's girlfriend. Besides, Tony has a dream of his own that he's willing to work towards... His far-fetched dreams are best voiced in the classic hit from this film, "High Hopes."
