Question
I don't remember the name.  I thought it was "It happened on 5th Ave"
 This is a movie we used to watch every christmas eve for many years in
my family on channel 18 UHF, Milwaukee, WI.
It takes place after WW2 I think, and a girl runs away from her
boarding school to her home in New York, or Northern State of some kind.
 Anyway she finds a Hobo and his small dog living in the house which is
usually deserted at that time of year.  She doesn't give her real name and
The Hobo decieds to let her stay and more seem to come with her, some
ex-service men.  Then her father shows up and she gets him to pretend to
be someone else(the owner of the house)He doesn't like it but he does
it.  Then the mother shows up(they are divored) and something about
some kind of (scumdillin stew) and how he only likes her mothers(if I
remember right the mother was named Mary)  But all these unusual people end
up contributing to a Christmas together.  It was a fantastic story,
and if you can find me the title or the movie itself I would greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks for writing.  Yes, the movie is "It Happened on Fifth Avenue," and you can find it on my Free Movies on DVD site, along with hundreds of other out-of-print films:
