Lucky Me (1954) More at IMDbPro »

Candy Williams is a struggling performer in a musical troupe, headed by Hap Schneider. Unfortunately, the troupe has fallen on hard times, forcing the members to get jobs cleaning hotel rooms. This all changes when one day Candy catches the eye of celebrity song writer, Dick Carson. Candy has no idea who he is, but, the rest of the troupe, especially Schneider, believes this is their lucky break. When Candy realizes who he really is, she's furious because he deceived her. By this time, Dick has "fallen head over heels" for Candy - this could be a problem, since he is currently dating another girl, Lorainne, the daughter of an oil tycoon. Dick secretly sits through one of Candy's performances, and is impressed, giving him a brilliant idea - Candy could perform the songs from the musical he has been preparing, and which he hopes Lorainne's father will finance. However, this is not going to be easy, since Lorainne has become very jealous, especially, when it comes to Candy getting closer to Dick. Written by Kelly

The four-person theatrical troupe is working at the hotel because they went to the expensive restaurant in the hotel and had no money to pay the bill! They were forced to work in the kitchen. Nancy Walker is the only one who works as a maid, discovering Dick Carson in his suite and does an impromptu audition for him. He throws her out. They finally get to do a number for Carson and he falls in love with Candy. The whole point of the title is that Candy is totally superstitious and finds bad things all the time, hence she calls herself Lucky Me. Written by Rich Wall
