Movie Reviews of Lucky Me
Movie Review: Exceptional value
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those lesser known Doris Day movies, but one that is exceptionally well put together with a stellar cast. It is nicely shot and scripted and worth adding to your Doris Day or any comedy collection. I miss films with the subtle innuendo rather than the "in your face" unrealistic and unbecoming "potty humor" in far too many films today.
Summary of Lucky Me
The star of a third-rate theatrical troupe in Miami catches the attention of a Broadway songwriter.Doris Day was nearing the end of her incredibly hard-working Warner Bros. contract when she made Lucky Me, a lighter-than-air confection with a showbiz backdrop. Doris is part of a shoestring song-and-dance troupe, marooned in a Miami hotel after defaulting on a tab. Wouldn't you know it, famed songwriter Robert Cummings is also at the hotel, and he needs a leading lady for his new musical. But first, there's some labored romance as Cummings pretends to be a humble auto mechanic, thus gumming up his chances when romance blooms. That's a thin plot even by the standards of Warners musicals, but Lucky Me gets a boost in the form of CinemaScope, which was still a newfangled widescreen process. Two numbers, especially, shine in the widescreen treatment: the opener, "The Superstition Song," which takes Doris along a few backlot city blocks as she avoids the bad-luck traps awaiting her; and "I Speak to the Stars," a daffy fantasy number set somewhere above planet Earth. The other members of Day's troupe are Phil Silvers, Eddie Foy Jr., and pint-sized Nancy Walker, all of whom trail the aroma of old vaudeville. This is not a memorable movie, but Day was nevertheless at her early-phase twinkliest, and you can see why audiences loved her. --Robert Horton
