Lucky Me (1954)

Candy Williams is a struggling performer in a musical troupe headed by Hap Schneider. Unfortunately, the troupe has fallen on hard times, forcing the members to get jobs cleaning hotel rooms. This changes the day that Candy catches the eye of celebrity songwriter Dick Carson. Candy has no idea who he is, but, the rest of the troupe, especially Schneider, believes this is their lucky break. When Candy realizes who he is, she's furious because he deceived her. By this time, Dick has "fallen head over heels" for Candy--which could be a problem, since he is currently dating Lorraine, the daughter of an oil tycoon. Dick secretly sits through one of Candy's performances, is impressed, and has a brilliant idea: Candy could perform the songs from the musical he has been preparing, which he hopes Lorraine's father will finance. However, this won't be easy, since Lorraine has become very jealous, especially, when it comes to Candy getting closer to Dick.
