LUCKY ME is one of those class "C" musicals of interest to those who need to compile either Doris Day credits or simply want to view the benign concerns spinning in the era's forgettable musicals. Bob Cummings just does not fill the bill in this one for reasons that are unclear and one wonders why he was cast in the production at all. He looks as if the project was done as an intermission from DIALING M FOR MURDER, probably the best thing Cummings ever did. Bill Goodwin and the ensemble are pleasant enough, but really no one including Doris can redeem this second-rate, predictable caper.
If only we had a nickel for every musical that was about producing a musical! Among musicals, LUCKY ME is one.
