In Reply to: "Lady For a Day" posted by rico on January 13, 2005 at 13:55:41:
rico,It's rare that I disagree with you, but I have to say that I find the 1933 "Lady for a Day" a real treat all the way through. It's such a wonderfully, fast and light fantasy from that era much like "It's a Wonderful Life", "It Happened One Night", "Our Man Godfrey", "Ninotchka", and "Destry Rides Again". I always find it enjoyable. The casting is just perfect and there's that great rapid fire dialogue.
"Fluff"- yes, but the best, most satisfying kind of fluff and "typical" of the best.
Cheers,

...and that judge Manville, with his flowery prose, was really special, worth the admission ticket indeed!Regards

Capra lost as they say, his touch, all was wrong in this remake.
And yes Bamby B, this film may have more layersof understanding of the human nature than other Capa films.
One of my favourit.

Thank you for these comments. I will bear them in mind next time Imwatch this. best, rico
There is also, so did I feel a great tenderness beyond the point of logic, where your head tell you it is not worth, and then you feel relieved, but somewhere you knowns it was just an excuse...against yourself.
Capra is one of the greatest.
Capa by the way too.
