There’s something reminiscent of "My Fair Lady" in this film, and director Frank Capra managed to craft a pleasant comedy drama using performers who aren’t particularly famous. May Robson provides a memorable performance as “Apple Annie,” a woman earning her living selling fruit on Times Square. She is popular with her friends, and things are going well until a letter arrives from her daughter, announcing that she will be coming from Spain along with her new fiancé and his father – both of whom (seemingly) believe, like the daughter does, that "Annie" occupies a much higher social standing in New York than she truly does. Fortunately, local criminal “Dave the Dude” (Warren William) enters the picture; he’s always cared for Annie and decides to lend a hand upon learning about her impending situation. Now, the rush is on to transform this woman into someone cultured and refined – otherwise, there won't be a wedding! It's entertaining to watch as one storyline follows Robson’s temporary rise from poverty, which she portrays with an appealing genuineness; the other involves a gangster whose actions are creating confusion among his associates and competitors who aren’t sure what’s happening. Halliwell Hobbes is dependable in his role as the butler, and Glenda Farrell also has some good moments as "Missouri." The film unfolds at its own rhythm and contains plenty of humor to fill the 90 minutes pleasantly. There's not a great deal of suspense – and that absence is actually one reason why this proves to be such a cheerful moviegoing experience.
