HOME

“It Happened on 5th Avenue” is a charming holiday-themed comedy from 1947, directed by Roy Del Ruth. The film tells the story of a drifter, Aloysius “Mac” McKeever, who takes up residence in a vacant mansion on New York’s Fifth Avenue during the winter months. He invites an evicted veteran, Jim Bullock, to join him, and soon, the mansion becomes a temporary home for several other characters, including the mansion owner’s daughter, Trudy12.

The movie is praised for its heartwarming and humorous narrative, with standout performances by Victor Moore as Mac and Charles Ruggles as the mansion owner12. While some critics note that the plot isn’t particularly original, the film’s execution and the chemistry among the cast make it a delightful watch2. It’s often compared to other holiday classics and is appreciated for its feel-good, uplifting message3.
