Okay, Capra is hokey, corny, he's all those adjectives that themselves have become the things they deride. This is still a fun, lighthearted movie that's a charming way to spend a couple of hours.
The immortal Bette does a wonderful job here as Apple Annie, a street peddler turned socialite. The rest of the cast turn in equally fine performances. Peter Falk in particular is hysterical as Joy Boy, and he gets some of the best lines in the movie.
