Plot Summary for
"Queen for a Day" (1956) More at IMDbPro »

"Do YOU want to be Queen for a Day?!" Host Bailey would bellow out those words before each program, to which the audience would reply en masse: "YES!" Four women, each having a sob story to tell, told Bailey why they believed they should be crowned the show's "Queen." Usually, each contestant asked for a merchandise prize, such as a washer and dryer. After all four stories were told, the audience determined the winner by applause (determined via the "applause meter"). The winner won her prizes, plus was bedecked in a sable-trimmed red velvet robe and jeweled crown. Interspersed between the contestants' stories was fashion commentary.

Each winner of "Queen for a Day" was driven up the coast of California. It stopped at Anderson's split soup on the way up north, and stayed at the Santa Maria Inn overnight. The queen was treated like a queen and received many gifts. Written by mizes2000@t-online.de
