Cary Grant in one of his signature roles: as a suave WW II-era lady-killing gambler.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 25, 2015

An engaging comedy drama with lots of sharp little cameo performances, this story of a gambler reformed by love was later remade (very loosely) as 'Gambling House' and also turned into a TV series.

Picture carries an authentic ring to operations of bigtime gamblers, and it faithfully follows the professional premise of 'never give the sucker a break, but never cheat a friend'.

Putting aside any moralizing, it's a well-made movie with some fun attached.

It sounds tacky, and it is a bit, but the movie from Hellzapoppin' director HC Potter was a big hit in 1943 and Grant always rated it as one of his favourites "because the character I played was more like the real Cary Grant than any before".

The light touch prevails pretty much, so "Mr. Lucky" should keep you in a more or less chucklesome mood most of the time.
