Episode 33: Lady for a Day - a podcast by Suzan Eraslan and David Daw

Lady for a Day is an almost entirely delightful rags-to-sort-of-riches fairytale with a brilliant ensemble cast of at the time relative unknowns. After a quick discussion of the Academy's upcoming addition of the Best Popular Film category, Suzan and David mostly rave about the first Frank Capra movie to be nominated for Best Picture... mostly. But unfortunately, like too many of these 1930s movies, its rating is brought down by an inexplicably random scene of unconnected racism leaving our hosts to wonder-- will any movie in the '30s manage to pass this part of the Screen Test of Time?
