 In 1961, Davis opened in the Broadway production "The Night of the Iguana" to mostly mediocre reviews, and left the production after four months due to "chronic illness".She then joined Glenn Ford and Ann-Margret for the Frank Capra film "Pocketful of Miracles" (1961) (a remake of Capra's 1933 film, "Lady for a Day"), based on a story by Damon Runyon.Exhibitors protested her star billing as they considered it would negatively impact the box office performance and, despite the appearance of Ford, the film failed at the box office.
