Review of Lady for a Day (1933) by Jeff B — 06 Jun 2008
A great early Capra film with a wonderful set up involving a poor woman who lies to her daughter who lives overseas and has never seen her that she's a rich woman. When the daughter decides to get married and come to visit, "Apple Annie" gets the help of the mobster she bring luck to to turn her into a rich lady for a week.
There are some pretty hilarious moments throughout, all involving the mobsters and their reactions to helping out with the crazy idea. Great cast and some perfect writing, especially all of the wonderful names of characters.
A great Capra film to see, I loved it, and the ending is so great.
