Review of Lady Luck

Lady Luck (1946)
7/10
fun romp into marriage
16 June 2018
Some really great names in here... if you have the patience to stick with it, you'll have fun and be entertained! Robert Young (Marcus Welby), Frank Morgan (the Wizard!), James Gleason always played the police detective, sometimes wise, sometimes bumbling. Dick Elliot (the mayor, from Andy Griffith) is the short guy on a winning streak. Barbara Hale is Mary, the new wife, determined to keep her new husband (Young) away from his gambling habit. The film has its ups and downs, and they need to learn to trust each other, as newlyweds always do! Keep an eye out for harry davenport, the clever, old judge. He had been in SO many big films in a supporting role, always the wise, knowing father or grandfather. Frank Morgan really spices up the film... it would have been boring and annoying without him as the sympathetic character here. There's so much arguing and mis-understanding going on, it needed some lightening up, and Morgan always brings that. Shown on Turner Classics.
