Previously released in standard definition by Image Entertainment in 2001, and out of print for some time, Frank Capra's Lady for a Day (1933) is streeting on March 20th on both SD and Blu-Ray.

The studio, Inception Media, is a newcomer to the DVD/Blu-Ray market, so what type of transfers are expected remains to be seen. Bonus features are not likely.


May Robson plays Apple Annie in Frank Capra's wonderful and enduring comedy/drama, based on a short story by Damon Runyon, with a hilarious and heartwarming script by Robert Riskin.

When Louise (Jean Parker) announces that she plans to visit her mother to introduce her aristocratic fiancé, Apple Annie's friends, including gangster Dave the Dude (Warren William), Judge Henry D. Blake (Guy Kibbee) and Missouri Martin (Glenda Farrell), rally around to transform her from a poor street peddler into the society matron her daughter is expecting to see.
