Quiz
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, Day suffered what she termed a 'nervous breakdown' during filming.

Citazioni
Candy Williams: There's thirteen people in the audience.
Hap Schneider: This is no time to be superstitious. It's bad luck.

Good for the performances of Doris Day and Robert Cummings.

I found this movie on DVD at my local public library. I wanted to watch it for two stars of yesteryear, Doris Day and Martha Hyer.

The simple story involves four small time entertainers barely drawing audiences in Miami and wanting to hit it somewhat bigger. They find out famous songwriter Dick Carson is in town and make attempts to meet him. Quite by accident, a car accident that is, Candy (Doris Day) meets Carson (Robert Cummings) but assumes he is a mechanic for the loaner car he is driving from a prior accident. This goes on long enough that when she finds out who he really is, she vows that she will never talk to him again. But he is smitten with her and also wants her to play the lead in the show he is writing.

To complicate things Carson needs funding for his planned Broadway show and needs help from Ms Thayer's wealthy Texas oilman father. Ms Thayer (Martha Hyer) has a deep crush on Carson and threatens to sabotage the whole thing if he keeps pursuing Candy for the lead role.

It is a rather simple and silly rom-com but all the actors are in good form. Especially Cummings, the impact of the whole story depends on the way he plays Carson and he nails it. Phil Silvers has a role as Hap Schneider, very similar in style to the Sgt. Bilko character he started playing on TV shortly after this movie came out.

All in all a worthwhile 100 minutes to see some of the stars of yesteryear. Day and Hyer were about 30 and lovely. Day was quite a good singer, even better than I thought I remembered.
