Lucky Me (film)

Lucky Me is a 1954 American musical comedy film starring Doris Day, Robert Cummings and Phil Silvers.

After the troupe's leader Hap Schneider tries to scam a restaurant out of dinner, they are forced to work in the hotel to pay for the meal.

To make up for the trouble, Hap arranges a rehearsal of a new song so that Dick can watch the troupe and audition Candy for his show.

The troupe accompanies her and Flo forces Lorraine to fall into a swimming pool so that Candy is free to save the day.

[4][3][5] The role played by Robert Cummings was originally intended for Gordon MacRae, who had previously worked with Doris Day several times.

The singer is a proven draw, so there undoubtedly is some coin in the offing for this Cinemascope offering but there would have been much larger returns in view had the entertainment been fresher.
