Frank Capra's Lady for a Day (1933), adapted from Damon Runyon's 1929 story "Madame La Gimp" by screenwriter Robert Riskin, is excellent pre-Code Capra, funny and warm, and sentimental in the good sense, before the "corn" in "Capracorn" began to seep in a little too deeply into his pictures.. Miss Missouri Martin does not believe in ever overlooking any publicity bets on the layout. She is an old , ugly and poor woman on his own resources , she splits luck to a mobster (well played by Glenn Ford who helped finance the movie through his production company) giving him apples . This is whenever a low- to middle-class girl gets to put on some fancy clothes and pretends to be a member of the upper class for a short time maybe even a princess. She walks with a gimp in one leg, which is why she is called Madame La Gimp, and years ago I hear somebody say Madame La Gimp .

When the Dude keeps postponing finalizing the deal with Mr. Big to help Annie, Joy Boy becomes increasingly exasperated and frightened. I advise Dave the Dude against this idea, because I am afraid something will happen to spoil the whole cat-hop, but he will not listen to me, especially as Rodney B. Emerson is now in town and is a strong booster for the party, as he wishes to drink of some of the good champagne he has planted in his apartment. Betty's role as "Apple Annie" is priceless.! I can think only of three directors who were capable of blending drama and comedy in a way that makes you applaud after the film ends.Billy Wilder,his mentor Ernst Lubitsch and of course,Frank Capra.Pocketful of Miracles(1961)is Capra's final feature and he ended his glorious career in a truly miraculous fashion.I have read many reviews which pointed out many flaws of this film,but I have to disagree.There are many elements that make this film a true masterpiece.Firstly,the screenplay based upon the story by Robert Riskin and Damon Runyon is wonderful--it is filled with witty one-liners that make you laugh and cry,and it embodies the spirit of Broadway.It is wrong to say that this film doesn't make you think after seeing it-it is much more than just a morality story,with tastefully and artistically presented characters.Secondly,there is absolutely top-notch cast,most of the actors make truly memorable performances(except for Peter Mann,who was rather stiff).Glenn Ford is a fantastic,somewhat forgotten actor,who embodied Dave the Dude superbly.As a prominent gangster and bootlegger who has a thing for Annie's apples,he is simultaneously tough,ironic,charismatic,and incredibly charming in his obstinacy and tenacity.Bette Davis again demonstrates why she was considered the best actress ever.She masterfully portrayed the complex and nuanced character of an alcoholic beggar who controls the beggary on Broadway.She actually shows that even a beggar can be stylish.And the love she has for her daughter Louise-that's magical.Beautiful Hope Lange is great(as always)in the role of Dave's lover Queenie,who wants to move to Baltimore with him and have children.Her change of heart towards Annie is wonderful.The supporting cast is adorable.Peter Falk deserved an Oscar for his inspirational and truly funny portrayal of a distrustful gangster Joy Boy.Thomas Mitchell made his last performance as a pool-hall-junkie-judge who stands in for Annie's husband.And he did it exceptionally.Ann Margret makes her debut as Annie's loving daughter.The direction is flawless,as usual when Capra is in charge.All these elements should make this film an unforgettable experience,and not just a film you watch for fun(no classic film lover should watch films just for fun). It's Hans Christian Andersen stuff written by a hard-boiled journalist and transferred to the screen by trick-wise Hollywoodites. [2][4] From the beginning, she clashed with co-star Glenn Ford, who had demanded Hope Lange, his girlfriend at the time, be given the dressing room adjacent to his, which had already been assigned to Davis. and, sure, about magic in a profound and lovely sense. The tale is sardonically narrated by one of Dude's henchmen. According to the contract he had negotiated prior to making the film, Capra received 10% of the net profits. This is not the feel good film that makes you cry at the end like Capra's other movie "it's a wonderful life" was. Louise has been led to believe her mother is a society matron named Mrs. E. Worthington Manville who lives at the Hotel Marberry. [1], Image Entertainment released the film on Region 1 DVD on October 23, 2001, and on Blu-ray on March 20, 2012. Noun. It's a great movie to watch with kids, or for cinema addicts looking for a rest. With "Pockeful Of Miracles" Frank Capra remakes his own "Lady For A Day" with Capraseque results - that means a mix bag with mostly delightful stuff in it - The major problem here is Glenn Ford, not as an actor but as a producer. Brown had already begun performing a similar character on My Friend Irma (1947) as Irma's (Marie Wilson) shiftless boyfriend, so the leap to yet another Lower East Side accent wasn't that great for Brown. 13 Ratings. Then Glenn Ford approached Capra with an offer to help finance the film through his production company if he was cast as the lead. A good-hearted gangster turns an old apple seller into a society matron so she can impress her daughter. Elizabeth 'Queenie' Martin (Hope Lange) is his lover, and she wants to get married with him and move to Maryland, to have children. But it seems to me all this is most disrespectful to our leading citizens, especially when Rodney B. Emerson calls, The Honorable Police Commissioner, Mister Grover A. Whalen, and in pops Wild William Wilkins, who is a very hot man at this time, being wanted in several spots for different raps. Highly recommended as a family entertainment. And, I say, this proud old Spanish nobleman must be something of a chump to believe a mother has plenty of dough, although of course I do not know just how smart a proud old Spanish nobleman can be.. + Alfred Damon Runyon (October 4, 1880 - December 10, 1946) was a newspaperman and writer. Annie's friends from the street ask Dave to rent her an apartment at the Marberry and, although he initially declines, he has a change of heart and arranges for her to live in the lap of luxury in a palatial residence belonging to a friend. But owing to the re-shoot and re-cutting of The Boy with Green Hair, the movie wasn't completed until September of 1948. Frank Capra's (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington/Mr. So there is nothing more to the story, except that Dave the Dude is around a few days later with a big sheet of paper in his duke and very, very indignant. It seems Madame La Gimp gives her baby the idea that such is the case in her letters to her. I am greatly mortified by such happenings at my social affairs, and everything must be returned at once. Veteran movie-maker Frank Capra once dubbed Damon Runyon "Creator of the American Fairy Tale" -- the man who mixed magic with real-life on the Great White Way. The first thing he does is to turn Madame La Gimp over to Miss Billy Perry, who is now Daves ever-loving wife which he takes out of tap-dancing in Miss Missouri Martins Sixteen Hundred Club, and Miss Billy Perry calls in Miss Missouri Martin to help. The charm of the previous film, made in a much different era for filmmaking, is gone. Well, I know Dave the Dude to do many a daffy thing, but never a thing as daffy as this. Especially, Dave says, the baby grand piano that is removed from Apartment 9-D.. ISCOD recherche . The picture drags on and on, and when the finale finally arrives it is flatly-handled. On the plus side, Peter Falk and Hope Lange are good in supporting parts, Ann-Margret is fine in her screen debut, and reliable vet Thomas Mitchell enjoyable as ever in his final film. I certainly did. The premise finds that gambler Dave the Dude (Warren. Warmth, schmaltz, heart, whatever it is, this motion picture's got it - that certain something that turns the screen hilariously and miraculously wonderful! The best lines in the picture go to Peter Falk[who] just about walks off with the film when he's on. and as oasis in middle of the challenges of every day. Annie assures the Dude that his latest purchase is especially lucky. a family film who represents gate to another time. Columbia Pictures purchased the screen rights in September 1932, and the studio scheduled the production to begin the following May, although director Frank Capra had misgivings about the project. Furthermore, he is in his Sixteen Hundred Club uniform, except he has a clean shave. [2][3][4] Upon its completion, he professed to prefer the remake to the original, although most critics, and in later years film historians and movie buffs, disagreed with his assessment. Annie becomes desperate and Dude decides to help her, pretending she is from the high-society of New York. Anyway, Judge Henry G. Blake says, being aristocratic will come natural to him. Apple Annie (Bete Davis) is an alcoholic beggar who sells apples and controls the beggary in Broadway area. You go and marry that chile con carne guy, and look what happens!. Darcey is debating whether to allow Dave to control the New York territory in exchange for $50,000 "as a token of good faith." Did anyone else notice the rear projection in the back windows of the cars? Interesting enough, this crowd pleaser works quite well. Never fear, WCT on the Air is back with another evening of nostalgia and laughs.This time, Damon Runyon, that Broadway raconteur, invites us to a real swanky reception for the famous Madame La Gimp. No one can predict how it will turn out when Dave the Dude and his boys decide to help poor old Madame La Gimp make a good impression on her future in-laws, but you can bet it will be wild time for all involved.Directed by Michael Eiden, this production features the talents of Andrew Eiden, Susan C. Hunter, Jorge del Toro, Richard Scaffidi, Greg Stokes, Jamie Sowers and Eric Vaughn Crumley. [citation needed], Mordaunt Hall of The New York Times called it "a merry tale with touches of sentiment, a picture which evoked laughter and tears from an audience at the first showing." FX: MUSIC ANNCR: Once again, The Damon Runyon Theater brings you another story by the master story teller, Damon Runyon, and this one the famous "Madame La Gimp." And to tell it to you, here is Broadway. The entire cast is really top notch. Frank Capra had directed Lady for a Day in 1933 and for years had wanted to film a remake, but executives at Columbia Pictures, which owned the screen rights, felt the original story was too old-fashioned. In Runyon's satirical story, Apple Annie is a Spanish ex-dancer who lost her career after breaking her leg. Plus, overall, it looks like everyone just tried and emoted too much in the remake. I agree that Lady for a day is a great,memorable film,special in many ways.But,the significance of Pocketful of Miracles should in no way be diminished on account of being a re-make.The sixties differ greatly from today,when irritating blockbusters,re-makes sequels and comic-book adaptations unfortunately prevail.Pocketful of Miracles is a must-see for any Capra lover,classic film lover in general,and for all the people who still believe in miracles.I'm one of them and I truly believe that both Hollywood and Europe will live again through the films who would touch the people over the mental age of three,if you know what I mean. It's not bad, but the scriptwriters for the movie "Lady for a Day" did a bang-up job improving their source material, and providing better rationales for what motivates a crew of mobsters to all come together to pretend Madame la Gimp (Apple Annie in the movie), washed-up Broadway dancer and seller of day-old newspapers and flowers purloined from cemeteries, is a wealthy society matron, so her daughter can marry the son of a Spanish count. Bette Davis looks lost in extravagant but unconvincing role of a straggly street-peddler who is turned into a grande dame by petty gangster Glenn Ford in order to fool her jet-setting daughter. But what I am getting at is this, Dave says. The same enchanting story only this time set during the Christmas season for delivering a miracle to the grey-haired Cinderella. Damon Runyon's short story Madame La Gimp was published in the October 1929 issue of Cosmopolitan. Well, it seems to me that everything is going perfect so far, and that it is good judgment to let it lay as it is, but nothing will do Dave the Dude but to have a reception the following night. It has aspects of Barrie's The Old Lady Shows Her Medals and also more than a mere suggestion of Shaw's Pygmalion, set forth, as might be anticipated, in a more popular vein. "[2] Variety thought the plot "alternates uneasily between wit and sentiment" and added, "The picture seems too long, considering that there's never any doubt as to the outcome, and it's also too lethargic, but there are sporadic compensations of line and situation that reward the patience. Never fear, WCT on the Air is back with another evening of nostalgia and laughs.This time, Damon Runyon,. Damon Runyon is acknowledged as one of the great writers to come out of twentieth century America.

Blake to be Madame La Gimps husband, although I am not so sure Judge Henry G. Blake will care to be anybodys husband, and especially Madame La Gimps after he gets a load of her, for Judge Henry G. Blake is kind of a classy old guy. The screenplay by Hal Kanter and Harry Tugend was based on Robert Riskin 's screenplay for the 1933 film Lady for a Day, which was adapted from the 1929 Damon Runyon short story "Madame La Gimp". The story is of Myra, who we open on as a chorus girl in a stage show.

Furthermore, he is obliged to Dave the Dude, because Dave sells him good champagne when most guys are trying to hand him the old phonus bolonus, and naturally Rodney B. Emerson appreciates this kind treatment. Somehow what worked so well in the 30s fails to work here, and while the acting couldn't be better from many of the actors involved, the storyboarding itself is sub-par. | Well, when Dave the Dude starts out on any proposition, he is a wonder for fast working. a film who, out of artistic value, is a trip in an useful atmosphere heart. This motion picture is in color which makes Davis's famous facial expressions, especially her eyes, all the more effective.
