Lady for a Day
“Takes its place among the greatest pictures ever made!”
ComedyDrama
Never-wed, poor, rough around the edges Apple Annie has always written to her daughter, Louise, in Spain that she is married and a member of New York's high society. Upon receiving unexpected word from Louise (who hasn't seen Annie since infancy) that she is en route to America with her new fiancé and his father, a count, so the three of them can meet her, Annie panics, despairing that her beloved daughter will be destroyed by the deception.
VIBE
A bittersweet, charming romp through New York's underbelly and high society. It's a pre-code gem that balances laugh-out-loud moments with genuine pathos, exploring the lengths one will go for love and family. Feels like a warm, hopeful hug.
