Lucky Us!

"Lucky Me" gives you everything you want in a musical and more. All the songs are catchy; the banter is quick and witty; there are some big dance productions; and of course, the one and only Doris Day.

Most films from Doris Day leave me wishing there were more musical numbers, but "Lucky Me" has just the right amount. The plot is thin and the romance does not start until about halfway through, but who cares? This film is a whole lot of fun.

If you are a Doris Day fan, this is a must. If not, then this is a good a place as any to find out about one of the greatest entertainers of all time. She can sing. She can dance. She can be really funny.

If you like upbeat, colorful musicals, then check out "Lucky Me."

Trivia
In her autobiography, Doris Day reported that she was suffering from nervous exhaustion following the strenuous production schedule for "Calamity Jane" (1953) and did not feel sturdy enough to begin work on "Lucky Me" (1954). When her husband-manager Martin Melcher and Warner Bros. strong-armed her into moving forward, she suffered what she termed a "nervous breakdown" during filming.
