Viewing Notes

Pretty good Frank Capra flick and exactly the Frank Capra flick you’d expect. Old peddler lady feeds her overseas daughter fake news about her high life in NYC until her daughter decides to come to NYC. With the help of some gangsters, she becomes an affluent lady. Then the hijinks ensue. Feel good movie if you’re needing one.
