Mr. Lucky (1943)
Effective change of pace
5 November 2005
Atypical Cary Grant film starts out with dark tone.Movie also has the theme of the responsibility of serving during wartime.;this is pieced together with the familiar gambler trying to fleece beautiful woman plot device.It makes for a very good film despite going back and forth.There is some role reversal as Grant rejects the girl, played by Laraine Day, because he thinks she is only interested in him for his money instead of the other way around.Day does very well in Myrna Loy.,Irene Dunne type role.Film features some dialogue written in the form of made up words,the combination of two regular words.Film is somewhat similar to Grant's "None but the lonely heart".
