Don’t step on a crack. Open an umbrella only when outdoors. Stop the show if the audience numbers 13 people. Struggling performer Candy Williams (Doris Day) has many ways to ward off bad luck. Maybe that’s why the most lopsided, unlucky day of her life eventually turns out to be the luckiest. Lucky Me reunites Day with Calamity Jane tunesmiths Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster and the teamwork works again. Day turns a sidewalk stroll into a hilarious series of near mishaps while belting out Superstition Song. It’s a good omen: High Hopes, I Speak to the Stars, I Wanna Sing Like an Angel and more bright melodies follow. As do the lively antics and showbiz pizazz of costars Robert Cummings, Phil Silvers, Eddie Foy Jr. and Nancy Walker. How lucky can a musical comedy fan get?
