Lady for a Day
Lady for a Day is a 1933 pre-code Frank Capra comedy/drama about Depression-era destitute Apple Annie, whose daughter was raised in a Spanish convent not knowing who her parents were. There are some heart-breaking moments here, but it's a well-balanced film.

And I wonder if this is where Capra got the storyline for his Pocketful of Miracles with Bette Davis.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the Betty Davis film but looked it up on Wikipedia, and it does say the screenplay was based on the Lady for a Day screenplay which was in turn based on a short story. Capra got a lot of mileage out of that story, didn't he lol It reminds me of Hitchcock re-making his own films.
DeleteGood morning, sounds similiar to the Shirley Temple movies
ReplyDeletethe sun is shining here today-easy to forget it is very cold out there lol
Good morning :)
DeleteShirley Temple is one of my film horrors. I just can't watch her childhood flicks, though I don't mind her as a teen actor.
I remember seeing this long ago. Pretty good. And yes--similar to Pocket Full of Miracles. Also good. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't usually like sweet movies, but I liked this one. Just sweet enough.
DeleteThanks for introducing yet another film I have never heard of - I have bookmarked it, so hope to have the time to view some of my list soon. Valerie
ReplyDeleteI've forgotten now how I found this one. It was probably on a list I came across online. I hope you enjoy it :) My computer bookmarks have enough movies to last forever. I'll not live that long lol
DeleteI fear this is not something I need to be watching right now. However, once I am feeling less angst, I might enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteA bittersweet story, not usually my thing at all. I'm not even sure how I came across this one, but I've had it bookmarked for some time waiting for me to get to it. So many movies!
