It was the Miracle on 68th Street.
Danny Aiello[1] went to see “Green Book” — the movie about his late friend Tony Lip, played by Viggo Mortensen — Wednesday at the AMC Loews at Lincoln Square.
Aiello had just called Lip’s son Nick Vallelonga to congratulate him for co-writing the poignant picture, which is destined to win awards, when he noticed that his $5,000 pinky ring was missing.
“I looked all over the car and couldn’t find it, and I knew I’d lost it in the theater,” Aiello said.
A friend stopped by the next day on the off chance that an honest soul had turned it in.
“The manager came out with a big tub filled with hats and gloves and scarves,” Aiello said. “At the bottom was my ring. This story almost makes me want to cry with joy!”
