Lucky to Me

Stanley Lupino and Barbara Blair get married, but keep it a secret from their employer, Julien Mitchell, until Lupino gets a hoped-for raise. Meanwhile, Lupino is ordered to a resort to advise client David Hutchinson, who wants to marry Phyllis Brooks. She refuses for fear of looking like a gold digger. The proposed solution: tell her that Mitchell's firm has bankrupted Hutchinson. Meanwhile Lupino gets on the outs with Bruce Seton, "The Boxing Earl."

Lupino's last movie is based on his stage show, and it's one of those featherweight plots that depends largely on Lupino's double talk and slapstick abilities, as well as thoroughly impractical set design. Lupino is fun, but this cut-glass farce doesn't really have much to enjoy outside of him. The songs are unmemorable, and the whole thing is wrapped up speedily to make sure everyone gets home on time.
