| Madame La Gimp is in a low-neck black dress and is wearing a lot of Miss Missouri Martins diamonds, such as rings and bracelets, which Miss Missouri Martin insists on hanging on her, although I hear afterwards that Miss Missouri Martin has Johnny Brannigan, the plain-clothes copper, watching these diamonds. The original was slow and graceful and also quite beautiful. I also thought the ending was slightly rushed and I really wanted to see more of what happened to Apple Annie and the others. And her baby, Eulalie, in a white dress is about as pretty a little doll as you will wish to see, and nobody can blame Judge Henry G. Blake for copping a kiss off of her now and then. [1] The film's success prompted the making of the 1934 film Lady by Choice, directed by David Burton and starring Carole Lombard. It seems the judge is playing the guy from Providence for five cents a ball, and the judge is about thirteen balls behind when I step into the joint, because naturally at five cents a ball the judge wishes the guy from Providence to win, so as to encourage him to play for maybe twenty-five cents a ball, the judge being very cute this way. But what I am getting at is this, Dave says. a family film who represents gate to another time. For a period of time the only existing copy was a 35mm print owned by Capra, until he made a duplicate negative from it and donated a newly minted print to the Library of Congress. 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. It was the first film for which Capra received an Academy Award nomination for Best Director and the first Columbia Pictures release to be nominated for Best Picture. The director claimed to prefer the remake to the original, although most critics and, in later years film historians and movie buffs, disagreed with his assessment. Didn't even know who Bette Davis or Frank Capra were, but already loved the film. If every single article listed here is not kicked back to the owners of the different joints in the Marberry that they are taken from by next Tuesday night, I will bust a lot of noses around this town, Dave says. Dream Street Rose, 'the short, thick set, square looking old doll with a square looking pan,' who is an alcoholic set adrift in New York after a terrible tragedy, Madame La Gimp, the Spanish dancer fallen on hard times and who has lost her daughter back at home and Little Miss Marker, the bright little girl left to the bookie Sorrowful as a . Well, I know Dave the Dude to do many a daffy thing, but never a thing as daffy as this. Runyon's short stories are almost always told in the first person by a narrator who is never named, and whose role is unclear; he knows many gangsters and has no job. Bette Davis was one of the major supporters of Glenn Ford at the beginning of his career - A Stolen Life, did for his career what "Thelma and Louise" did for Brad Pitt's and one should remember that Davis sort of "imposed" Ford for that role. How can I forget you? That's why studios have a Continuity Department. Either that car window was a time tunnel or someone used the wrong film clip for the rear projection. In particular, Ford is more selfish and nasty when compared to the "nice" scoundrel played more gracefully by William. It is commencing to sound to me like a movie such as a guy is apt to see at a midnight show, I say. That should tell you something. The film centers about the boozy as well as brassy elderly female called Apple Annie (Bette Davis , though before Bette accepted the role , Shirley Booth was Capra's first choice for Annie , but she politely declined the role) . Capra explained why he retired: "Because I did it all. But owing to the re-shoot and re-cutting of The Boy with Green Hair, the movie wasn't completed until September of 1948. You've got to see it to belove it! A good-hearted gangster turns an old apple seller into a society matron so she can impress her daughter. He gets me to one side, too, and wishes to know who Herbert Bayard Swope is, and when I explain to him, the Pale Face Kid gets so swelled up he will not speak to Death House Donegan, who is only Mister William Muldoon., Well, it seems to me they are getting too strong when they announce, Vice-President of the United States, the Honorable Charles Curtis, and in pops Guinea Mike, and I say as much to Dave the Dude, who is running around every which way looking after things, but he only says, Well, if you do not know it is Guinea Mike, will you know it is not Vice-President Curtis?. Highly recommended as a family entertainment. POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES is actually a remake of LADY FOR A DAY (1933), and I've got to say that nothing in this remake made me favor it over the original. [2][circular reference], In the early 1950s, the original negative was lost while being transferred from one film lab to another for preservation work. Deeds Goes to Town) cinematic swansong from 1961 which starred Bette Davis & Glenn Ford. This stars Bette Davis as a panhandler who's daughter thinks she's rich and famous and Glenn Ford is a gangster friend of Davis who helps her out, despite his own troubles. The director finally cast his film with an assortment of character actors under contract to Columbia. It's Hans Christian Andersen stuff written by a hard-boiled journalist and transferred to the screen by trick-wise Hollywoodites. Robert Riskin was assigned to develop the story for the screen and wrote four drafts, submitting the last on May 6, 1933, three days before principal photography began. 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. Annie assures the Dude that his latest purchase is especially lucky. I remember youoh, so very well, Henry. The picture drags on and on, and when the finale finally arrives it is flatly-handled. In fact, after Mr. Conde gets a couple of jolts of the old grape, he turns out to be a pretty nice old skate, even if nobody can understand what he is talking about. Frank Capra's Lady for a Day (1933), adapted from Damon Runyon's 1929 story "Madame La Gimp" by screenwriter Robert Riskin, is excellent pre-Code Capra, funny and warm, and sentimental in the good sense, before the "corn" in "Capracorn" began to seep in a little too deeply into his pictures.. a film about values, hopes and mankind . Bette Davis herself confessed to have found enormous difficulty at being faithful to Apple Annie in those gorgeous gowns post-makeover, but this is, was and always will be a fairy tale and as such it succeeds beautifully. Madame La Gimp is in a low-neck black dress and is wearing a lot of Miss Missouri Martin's diamonds, such as rings and bracelets, which Miss Missouri Martin insists on hanging on her, although I hear afterwards that Miss Missouri Martin has Johnny Brannigan, the plain-clothes copper, watching these diamonds. Ladd, long an admirer of 'The Brighter Side', Damon Runyon's long-running newspaper column, initially signed Pat O'Brien to star as 'Broadway' in the program. Beautiful Hope Lange is terrific and Peter Falk wears a coat that makes his character a shady relative of his future "Colombo". The young Ann-Margret is as cute as can be. I watch Mr. and Mrs. Conde, and I do not see that these names are making any impression on them, and I afterwards find out that they never get any newspapers in their town in Spain except a little local bladder which only prints the home news. Bette Davis turns in a great performance as "Apple Annie". With "Pockeful Of Miracles" Frank Capra remakes his own "Lady For A Day" with Capraseque results - that means a mix bag with mostly delightful stuff in it - The major problem here is Glenn Ford, not as an actor but as a producer. Damon Runyon is acknowledged as one of the great writers to come out of twentieth century America. As for Judge Henry G. Blake, he is full of speed indeed. I agree that Lady for a day is a great,memorable film,special in many ways.But,the significance of Pocketful of Miracles should in no way be diminished on account of being a re-make.The sixties differ greatly from today,when irritating blockbusters,re-makes sequels and comic-book adaptations unfortunately prevail.Pocketful of Miracles is a must-see for any Capra lover,classic film lover in general,and for all the people who still believe in miracles.I'm one of them and I truly believe that both Hollywood and Europe will live again through the films who would touch the people over the mental age of three,if you know what I mean. That original 1933 film was also directed by Capraone of two films that he originally directed and later remade, the other being Broadway Bill (1934) and its remake Riding High (1950). But it's intriguing to wonder how many of the episodes they actually did record before O'Brien had to rush back to RKO's West Coast studios to complete The Boy with Green Hair.As it turns out, Ladd tapped short-lived veteran Radio actor John Brown to voice the recurring 'Broadway' character so central to the exposition of every episode of The Damon Runyon Theatre.

Still, give me them carrying a little less weight for age. The story is of Myra, who we open on as a chorus girl in a stage show. Bette Davis does an admirable job and Ann Margret is charming at whole at first steps on screen. In fact, Dave says, she will land next Saturday and here it is Wednesday already.. a Capra's movie must be nice. He soon dances himself plumb out of wind, and then I notice he is hanging around Madame La Gimp a lot. Damon Runyon's short story Madame La Gimp was published in the October 1929 issue of Cosmopolitan. Aside from some minor revisions made during production, this final script was filmed intact.

By and by there is dancing going on, and a good time is being had by one and all, including Mr. and Mrs. Conde. Skenarionya yang dibuat oleh Robert Riskin berdasarkan pada cerpen "Madame La Gimp" karya Damon Runyon . I am wondering for two days, he says, if by any chance you remember me. But I know there is no use arguing with him when he gets an idea, because if you argue with Dave the Dude too much he is apt to reach over and lay his Sunday punch on your snoot, and no argument is worth a punch on the snoot, especially from Dave the Dude. This motion picture is in color which makes Davis's famous facial expressions, especially her eyes, all the more effective. Of course, Judge Henry G. Blake is not a judge, and never is a judge, but they call him Judge because he looks like a judge, and talks slow, and puts in many long words, which very few people understand. None of the bunch talk any English, so Miss Billy Perry and Judge Henry G. Blake are pretty much outsiders on the way uptown. Pocketful of Miracles is not merely out of whole cloth, but out of date, and watching it is a painful experience. One of the street people says that she can remember when Annie always looked like that. (We never know the details of Annie's history, but her upper-crust origins are clear.) 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. In Runyon's satirical story, Apple Annie is a Spanish ex-dancer who lost her career after breaking her leg. The cast, direction and screenplay are delightful and although being talkative and long, it is such a good film that the viewer does not feel the time passing. Dave reluctantly goes along, worried that his luck would run out otherwise. I'll never do that again. By this time they are being married over at Saint Malachys with my ever-loving wife and Big Nig standing up with them. Kirk Douglas, Dean Martin, and Jackie Gleason rejected the role.

Davis and Ford are okay but represent a change in the times I'd say. I get to the Marberry around nine oclock and who opens the door of Madame La Gimps apartment for me but Moosh, the doorman from Miss Missouri Martins Sixteen Hundred Club. Woefully sentimental comedy-drama directed by a sadly out-of-touch Frank Capra, here remaking his own 1934 picture "Lady For a Day" but not updating it much--"Pocketful of Miracles" plays just like 1934. Only Madame La Gimp and her husband, Judge Henry G. Blake, and Miss Billy Perry go, though the judge holds out for some time for Little Manuel, because Judge Blake says he wishes somebody around to tip him off in case there are any bad cracks made about him as a husband in Spanish, and Little Manuel is very Spanish. Although I prefer the original 1933 film, this 1961 remake adequately exudes its own amount of charm. FAQ "Pocketful of Miracles" received three Oscar nominations. The first thing he does is to turn Madame La Gimp over to Miss Billy Perry, who is now Daves ever-loving wife which he takes out of tap-dancing in Miss Missouri Martins Sixteen Hundred Club, and Miss Billy Perry calls in Miss Missouri Martin to help.

Filming was completed in late June 1961, and Capra painfully struggled to get through the post-production period. Indeed, we have an alleged audition from the program, titled \"Princess O'Hara\" in which O'Brien and Wendy Barrie are heard announcing the next production of the series, 'A Piece of Pie'. | While I immensely enjoyed his 'It Happened One Night', his 'It's a Wonderful Life' (it has been said that this is Capra's best work) did not appeal to me. Then Dave the Dude comes over to me looking much worried. This film was also a remake of a film made in 1933 called Lady For a Day with Warren William and Mae Hopson. Davis has been picking up mail from her studying abroad daughter, played by Ann Margaret (in her film debut), from a swanky hotel (she's using the hotel's address as a means to put on airs she lives there when the reality is she lives on skid row) but when the management informs her she cannot do this anymore, she is bereft the truth will come out. Well, when I step in I see the judge miss a shot anybody can make blindfolded, but as soon as I give him the office I wish to speak to him, the judge hauls off and belts in every ball on the table, bingity-bing, the last shot being a bank that will make Al de Oro stop and think, because when it comes to pool, the old judge is just naturally a curly wolf. Boxoffice confirmed that the film "ranked in the top hit class by exhibitors in the 20 key cities across the nation.

Frank Capra directed that film, which received four Academy Award nominations for the then second-tier Hollywood studio, Columbia. Given the common practice of cutting two to five transcribed recordings in one session, one might well imagine that O'Brien recorded as many as five Damon Runyon Theatre programs before his performances were cut short. 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. Davis' Annie is ghoulish and Ford's Dave is hard to like. Warmth, schmaltz, heart, whatever it is, this motion picture's got it - that certain something that turns the screen hilariously and miraculously wonderful! There is too much dedicated to Ford's character's businesses, moving away from what really matters - Apple Annie and her predicament. Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay . Do you know who I am?, I remember you, Madame La Gimp says. Annie has been pretending she resides in a luxurious hotel (writing her letters on stolen hotel stationery) and has Louise's letters mailed there intercepted for her by an employee. The morning they go to meet the boat is the first time Judge Henry G. Blake gets a load of his ever-loving wife, Madame La Gimp, and by this time Miss Billy Perry and Miss Missouri Martin give Madame La Gimp such a going-over that she is by no means the worst looker in the world. I wish Moosh a hello, and he never raps to me but only bows, and takes my hat. Madame La Gimp - RuLit - 1 What Judge Henry G. Blake does for a living at this time nobody knows, because he does nothing much whatever, and yet he seems to be a producer in a small way at all times. They tell me the meeting at the dock between Madame La Gimp and her baby is very affecting indeed, and when the proud old Spanish nobleman and his wife, and their son, and Madame La Gimps sister, all go into action, too, there are enough tears around there to float all the battleships we once sink for Spain. I never see a nicer-looking young couple, and anybody can see they are very fond of each other indeed. Well, when Dave the Dude starts out on any proposition, he is a wonder for fast working. Mr. Big agrees to the Dude's terms, but the Dude decides to marry Queenie and settle down. One night I am passing the corner of Fiftieth Street and Broadway, and what do I see but Dave the Dude standing in a doorway talking to a busted-down old Spanish doll by the name of Madame La Gimp. A guy who goes around this town asking where babies papas are, or even who they are, is apt to get the name of being nosy. Or rather Madame La Gimp is talking to Dave the Dude, and what is more he is listening to her, because I can hear him say yes, yes, as he always does when he is really listening to anybody, which is very seldom. Especially, Dave says, the baby grand piano that is removed from Apartment 9-D.. 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. She fails to beget your sympathy. One day a certain party by the name of Judge Goldfobber, who is a lawyer by trade, sends word to me that he wishes me to call on him at his office in lower Broadway, and while ordinarily I do not care for any part of lawyers, it happens that Judge Goldfobber is a friend of mine, so I go to see him. She has her gray hair piled up high on her head, with a big Spanish comb in it, and she reminds me of a picture I see somewhere, but I do not remember just where. Never fear, WCT on the Air is back with another evening of nostalgia and laughs.This time, Damon Runyon,.

Blake is not so excited when I tell him what Dave the Dude wishes to see him about, but naturally he is willing to do anything for Dave, because he knows that guys who are not willing to do things for Dave the Dude often have bad luck. He and a singer at the gang's nightclub try to do a good deed for the old lady when her daughter comes to visit. You are still beautiful.. Now this is a most surprising sight to me, because Madame La Gimp is not such an old doll as anybody will wish to listen to, especially Dave the Dude. The chances are they read the newspapers back there in Spain, and we must let them meet the folks they read about, so they will see Madame La Gimp is a real big shot to get such names to a party..

Well, I can see the old grape is working first-class on Judge Henry G. Blake to make such remarks as this, although at that, in the half-light with the smile on her face, Madame La Gimp is not so bad. Where is the babys papa? I ask Dave the Dude. This Rodney B. Emerson is quite a guy along Broadway, and a great hand for spending dough and looking for laughs, and he is very popular with the mob.

Capra, certain he was the winner, ran to the podium to collect his Oscar, only to discover Rogers had meant Frank Lloyd, who won for Cavalcade, instead. Dave has an important meeting with a very powerful underworld boss from Chicago, Steve Darcey, aka "Mr. Big" (Sheldon Leonard). The importance of emotions, the rhythm, the magic and the happy ending.

Blake (Thomas Mitchell) to pose as Annie's husband. This is another wonderful Frank Capra's magic movie.

He felt that it was a mistake going into partnership with a star, in this case Glenn Ford because it meant yielding creative control of the product.
