Overview

Never-wed, poor, rough around the edges Apple Annie has always written to her daughter, Louise, in Spain that she is married and a member of New York's high society. Upon receiving unexpected word from Louise (who hasn't seen Annie since infancy) that she is en route to America with her new fiancé and his father, a count, so the three of them can meet her, Annie panics, despairing that her beloved daughter will be destroyed by the deception.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A Depression-era fairy tale where a street vendor with a heart of gold gets a glamorous makeover to fool her daughter, and finds something more valuable than the ruse itself. It's gently comedic, emotionally generous, and genuinely touching.
