Die unteren Zehntausend (1961)
23KDie unteren Zehntausend: Directed by Frank Capra. With Glenn Ford, Bette Davis, Hope Lange, Arthur O’Connell. A New York gangster and his girlfriend attempt to turn street beggar Apple Annie into a society lady when the peddler learns her daughter is marrying royalty.
“Bette Davis turns in a great performance as u0026quot;Apple Annieu0026quot;. Peter Falk, as has been noted, gets the best lines. Glenn Ford shows his talent for comedy. The young Ann-Margret is as cute as can be. But if i can be permitted a bit of Trivial Observation: I had to watch the next to last scene (the police-escorted motorcade) again because i could not believe it on the first viewing. Did anyone else notice the rear projection in the back windows of the cars? The story is set in the 1930u0026#39;s, the cars are of that era but the automobile following in the back window looks like a 1950 Cadillac! Either that car window was a time tunnel or someone used the wrong film clip for the rear projection. Thatu0026#39;s why studios have a Continuity Department.”
