Every Day's a Holiday is a 1937 American musical comedy film directed by A. Edward Sutherland and starring Mae West, Edmund Lowe, and Charles Butterworth. The film follows Peaches O'Day (Mae West), a con artist who has been scamming people her whole life. When she finds out that the police are looking for her, she decides to pose as Fifi, a famous French chanteuse, in order to escape arrest.
Peaches manages to fool everyone, including the music-loving mayoral candidate John Quade (Edmund Lowe) who falls in love with her. But when the crooked police chief of the town (Lloyd Nolan) discovers Peaches' true identity, he attempts to use her to his advantage. However, Peaches cleverly turns the tables on him, exposing his illegal activities and helping John Quade win the election.
Throughout the film, Mae West delivers her trademark witty one-liners and performs musical numbers, including a duet with Edmund Lowe. The film also includes a number of comedic scenes, such as a scene in which Peaches teaches her male accomplices how to walk like women in order to avoid being recognized by the police.
Every Day's a Holiday was Mae West's first film in four years and was a box office success. The film was praised for its humor and West's performance, although some critics felt that the plot was thin. Overall, it is considered to be a typical example of Mae West's unique style and humor.
