Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Gets a little goopy, even for Capra.
San Francisco Examiner
Capra spreads his usual feel-good schmaltz over the otherwise springy material.

Combustible Celluloid
Rating: 4.5/5 --
A film where even scenes of abject poverty shimmer with an almost luminous quality. Capra's camera is fluid and precise in its moves.

...Frank Capra's best-picture Oscar nominee is arguably the best Damon Runyon on film...
USA Today
Rating: B --
Suitably made for Depression-era audiences, Frank Capra's version of Damon Ranyon's famed story is an endearing fable with a strong, Oscar-nominated turn from the vet actress May Robson as Apple Annie.

Product Description:
Story of a soft-hearted gangster who organizes his entire gang of thugs to help transform an elderly, rather seedy apple vendor into a perfect society lady. This treatment of a Damon Runyon story was, next to "It's a Wonderful Life," Capra's favorite among his own films. Academy Award Nominations: 4, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress--May Robson and Best Adapted Screenplay.
