VHS Movie Reviews of Mr Lucky
Movie Review: Why isn't this on DVD?
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't figure out why such a great classic hasn't been put on DVD yet!
Maybe the reason I really like this movie is because it shows what a great actor Cary Grant is! You can't help but like him - even if he does play a crook. Along with the drama, you'll laugh hilariously at the comedic moments - one of which includes Cary learning how to knit. he look totally natural knitting away with all these ladies adoringly looking at him. But the one he falls for happens to be the fundraiser of the organization he is trying to swindle.
Cary is Joe Adams a.k.a Joe Bascopolous, the handsome owner of a gambling ship trying to dodge the draft. His plan: steal the proceeds of a charity ball raising money for the was effort and abscond to South America. But there's one thing he hadn't bargained on, and that is Dorothy Bryany (Laraine Day) the cute fundraiser for the war effort, who's thrown a chink into his plans.
Please, please put this movie on DVD!
Movie Review: UnLucky on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Please... somebody! Put this out on DVD! It's one of Cary Grant's best!!!Movie Review: Not his best but still....
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't believe I've never seen this movie until now. I checked it out from the library and since I was home alone last night, I watched it.
Loved the part about the ties. Loved the premise of bad poor boy/good rich girl. Or was she so good? Not sure after the trip to Maryland scene! Loved looking at Cary Grant in his prime. What modern actor can compare? He was of my parents' generation (even older than they were), but the rest of us can appreciate him, too.
Movie Review: How Can a Cary Grant Movie Not Be On DVD?
Summary: 4 Stars
Mr. Lucky may not be one of Cary Grant's best movies and his character is not as likeable as characters he has played in other movies but it's still a good movie anyway. A previous reviewer said that Mr. Lucky is very underrated and I have to agree with that statement and I think this movie should be transferred to DVD, I mean how can a Cary Grant movie not be on DVD?Movie Review: A reformed gambler sees the light
Summary: 4 Stars
It's hard to believe this one isn't on DVD yet! Cary Grant plays a gambler who convinces a wartime relief organization to run a gambling function for one night to raise money for supplies to send overseas. Only his real motive is to keep all the profits for himself and skip town. But he falls in love with the organization's leader (Lorraine Day) and reforms. There is one horrendous scene in a church where Grant comes to see the light, but otherwise the picture is pretty good. Day is more a looker than an actress, but Grant is good in the lead. It's very well directed, with some interesting use of "silent conversation" behind glass doors that open so we can catch the main points as they're said. There are some surprises, too, at the end, but they seem only tacked on to get the right (Hollywood) ending. But not a bad movie overall. Worth a watch.
