Emerson gets a big bang out of the idea, and he says to Dave the Dude like this: You not only can have the apartment, Dave, but I will come over and help you out.

It seems that she once has a baby which she calls by the name of Eulalie, being it is a girl baby, and she ships this baby off to her sister in a little town in Spain to raise up, because Madame La Gimp figures a baby is not apt to get much raising-up off of her as long as she is on Broadway.

Will Rogers presented the Academy Award for Best Director, and when he opened the envelope he simply announced, "Come up and get it, Frank!" Bette Davis shines as Apple Annie, though, and makes this escapist film worth watching even when its subject matter has not aged well and seems like a caricature of its earlier version. Runyon was pleased with the changes and later said, "Lady for a Day was no more my picture than Little Miss Marker, which, like the former picture, was almost entirely the result of the genius of the scenario writers and the director who worked on it. Anyway, this has nothing whatever to do with the proposition, which is that Madame La Gimps baby, Eulalie, is arriving here. Then Dave the Dude comes over to me looking much worried. Existing in a Damon Runyon universe this charmer has only the most ephemeral touch in common with the real world but is that necessarily what you watch a Frank Capra movie for? Often it's to go to a royal ball, but it could be for different reasons. Davis' Annie is ghoulish and Ford's Dave is hard to like. When the Dude keeps postponing finalizing the deal with Mr. Big to help Annie, Joy Boy becomes increasingly exasperated and frightened. It takes me several hours to find Judge Henry G. Blake, but finally I locate him in Derles billiards-room playing a game of pool with a guy from Providence, Rhode Island. Why this is, I do not know, but this is the way Little Manuel is. There are no apples, there are no whimsical twists, there are no tearful moments. This Frank Capra directed film is actually Capra's second attempt with the movie. Anyway, Judge Henry G. Blake says, being aristocratic will come natural to him. Very often when he is riding the tubs, Little Manuel runs into some guy he cannot cheat, so he has to call in Judge Henry G. Blake to outplay the guy on the level, although of course Little Manuel will much rather get a guys dough by cheating him than by outplaying him on the level.

But I judge the proud old Spanish nobleman is none too bright, at that, Dave says, because Madame La Gimp tells me he always lives in his little town which does not even have running water in the bathrooms. I remember somebody telling me once that Madame La Gimp is quite a beauty in her day, and has her own servants, and all this and that, but I always hear the same thing about every bum on Broadway, male and female, including some I know are bums, in spades, right from taw, so I do not pay any attention to these stories. Judge Henry G. Blake is really quite surprised by her looks, as he figures all along she will turn out to be a crow. You'll wait all through the film for something great to happen but it'll never come. Annie discovers her charade is in danger of being uncovered when she learns Louise is sailing to New York with her fianc Carlos (Barry Norton) and his father, Count Romero (Walter Connolly). In fact, she looks first-rate, especially as she is off gin and says she is off it for good. A collection of wonderful character actors: Thomas Mitchell, Ellen Corby and in particular Edward Everett Horton makes the whole thing a smashing pleasure. The old doll is in a tough spot. I can see there is no sense in me horning in on Madame La Gimp and Judge Henry G. Blake while they are cutting up old touches in this manner, so I think I will just say good-bye to the young people and let it go at that, but while I am looking for Madame La Gimps baby, and her guy, I run into Dave the Dude. Finally there is quite a commotion at the door, and Rodney B. Emerson announces, Mister Herbert Bayard Swope, in an extra loud voice which makes everybody look around, but it is nobody but the Pale Face Kid. Madame La Gimp tells me her baby is daffy about the young guy, and he is daffy about her, and there are enough broken hearts in this town as it is. 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. This motion picture is in color which makes Davis's famous facial expressions, especially her eyes, all the more effective.

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. Taking place during the Prohibition Era in New York, we meet an apple seller, Davis, who makes ends meet selling the fruit on streets & who it turns out has a special relationship w/a mobster in town, Ford, who whenever a big deal or decision comes his way entrusts Davis to give him an apple (as a good luck token) which for the most part has worked in his favor but when the big boss is making moves to take over his territory, Ford does all he can to have all his luck ducks in a row. Damon Runyon was born as Alfred Damon Runyan to a family of newspapermen in Manhattan, Kansas. 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. The director felt Ford was wrong for the part but out of desperation he agreed to the arrangement, which called for each of them to receive 37 percent of the film's profits.
