Lady for a Day
Lady for a Day is a 1933 film which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. It was written by Robert Riskin[?], based on the Damon Runyon story Madame la Gimp. The film was directed by Frank Capra.
Apple Annie (May Robson) is a homeless woman who has always pretended to her daughter that she is a member of high society. Now her daughter plans to marry a member of Spain's aristocracy. Annie must pretend to be wealthy or the fiance's father, a count, will not give his blessing. She gets the help of Dave the Dude (Warren William[?]), who considers Annie a good luck charm, to obtain a luxury apartment and entertain the visitors.
The movie was remade as Pocketful of Miracles[?] in 1961.
