Lucky Me is a boring film. It is about three struggling theatrical performers who meet a famous songwriter who is trying to convince a wealthy oilman to finance a musical he is scripting. Doris Day and Robert Cummings give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Jack Donohue did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

Just a barrel of cuteness. Not memorable but fun for the 1 hour and 40 minutes.

And my ill-advised Doris Day phase continues. Even for the genre and era, this is cornpone as all hell. Still, Nancy Walker (Rhoda's mom!) is always a welcome presence, if almost always underused. And how can you not respect a movie that ends with a wacky scheme involving wigs and fake accents, a prominently featured giant cake that no one jumps out of or falls into, and almost no payoff to the weird logic of the multiple deceptions? Still, the opening number is just about the only thing here really worth seeking out.

Bland musical, peppy performers but flat nonetheless.

Although Doris is in unusually tomboy spirits, her film is the conventional musical.
