About

Capricious, winsome, whimsical, and all together delightful! Superbly directed by the peerless Frank Capra ("A Hole in the Head"), this remake of "Lady For A Day" is pure Hollywood magic - an unforgettable combination of comedy, whimsy and romance that was nominated for three Oscars® including Supporting Actor (Peter Falk, "The Princess Bride"), Costume Design, and Original Song. Impoverished Broadway peddler "Apple Annie" (Bette Davis, "The Whales of August") has a problem: her daughter Louise (Ann-Margret, "Carnal Knowledge"), educated abroad since infancy, is coming for a visit and bringing her wealthy fiancé with her. The problem is that Louise has believed all her life that Annie's a wealthy dowager, and the poor old women doesn't know what to do. Enter "Dave the Dude"
