Capra at his corniest. Heartwarming tale of homeless"Apple Annie" who poses as a member of high society when her daughter and fiancee come to visit. Quite deservedly, 74 y/o May Robson recieved an Academy Award nomination. She's a perfect fit for Apple Annie as are Guy Gibbee (Pool Hustler Harry) and Warren William (Dave the Dude). It seems that Marie Dressler and WC Fields both turned down roles. Summary: An old fashioned, improbable, fun movie, with an excellent lead perfromance, and touches of charm and humor. Rating ***
