'''''Pocketful of Miracles''''' is a 1961 American comedy film starring [[Glenn Ford]] and [[Bette Davis]], produced and directed by [[Frank Capra]], filmed in [[Panavision]]. The screenplay by [[Hal Kanter]] and Harry Tugend was based on [[Robert Riskin]]'s screenplay for the 1933 film ''[[Lady for a Day]]'', which was in turn adapted from the 1929 [[Damon Runyon]] short story "Madame La Gimp". That original 1933 film was also directed by Capra—one of two films that he originally directed and later remade, the other being ''[[Broadway Bill]]'' (1934) and its remake ''[[Riding High (1950 film)|Riding High]]'' (1950).

The film was the final project for both Capra and [[Thomas Mitchell (actor)|Thomas Mitchell]]. It marked [[Ann-Margret]]'s film debut.

[[Peter Falk]] was nominated for an [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor]].
