Our family watched the movie "It Happened on 5th Avenue" a few days ago. Funny, classic - and a message.
A homeless man and his dog had been coming to a very wealthy mans 2nd home for a few winters. This time though extra people joined him. One was the daughter of the owner. Eventually the owner and his estranged wife joined as well. The 3 rich guests pretended to be homeless vagrants to stay. Humility was on the course every day..
One rule was to always go thru the back fence door - never thru the front door. The chief vagrant was a man called "Aloysius T. McKeever".
Quotes:
There are richer men than I - Mickey O'Connor - the 2nd richest man in the world - referring to Aloysius T. McKeever - the vagrant with love for life - irregardless of the circumstances.
In the end Mickey O'Connor watches as Aloysius leaves the house...not a care in the world. As Aloysius fades away - Mickey remarks "Next year he's coming in the front door." A remark of a changed heart...
