    • Goofs
      The Baker scoops coins into his hand from the counter and places them in a paper bag. He then puts the bag into a metal box. Except, he missed one coin on the counter. The scene cuts to Gigot in the doorway and then back to the Baker holding the metal box and the coin on the counter is gone.
    • Quotes

      Alphonse: Would you say this Gigot has a good mind?

      Madame Brigitte: As good as you will find in the chamber of the Senate.

      Alphonse: That is not good enough.

      Gaston: [writing in his notebook] That - is - not - good...

      Alphonse: Do not write that down.

    Sad, pathetic, and wonderful

    I have seen this movie a few times, and it just grows on you. Gleason shows how powerful a performance one can do without uttering one word.

    Many have described this film well. It is a great performance by Gleason, and yes the little girl isn't the cutest, but she wasn't meant to be. It makes his love for her and the mother all the more powerful. The SADDEST part of this film is that it has never been released on Video or DVD yet. Perhaps someday Hollywood will catch up with the people's hearts.
