Lucky Me (Warner) is what is left of the little old Cinderella story when WarnerColor. CinemaScope, stereophonic sound, three scriptwriters, two songsmiths and $2,000,000 are through with it.
The heroine (Doris Day) becomes a singer in a revue, reduced to slinging for her supper in a hotel scullery. The hero (Robert Cummings) is a famous songwriter--a fiction scarcely supported by the songs attributed to him--who is staying at the hotel. Doris is soon pleasantly crooning "I'm in love" to a silver-lame willow while mechanical stars dot the screen like light bulbs shining through an I.B.M. card; and instead of a slipper, her Prince Charming offers her a Broadway part.
The fairy godmother in all this is Comedian Phil Silvers, playing a sort of Bottom Banana in the burlesque business; but for all the waving of his magic cigar, the movie is still a pumpkin.
