I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

disgusting, overrated, pointless

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Back in the dark ages of three networks (four if you count ETV with Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers) and before tivo, dvr and vcrs, a late movie was what you stayed up to watch, if you remained awake.Such was the case with Thank Your Lucky Stars. I remember other movies airing late at night on the local ABC network, such as James Cagney with that grapefruit, believe it or not, among others, but Thank Your Lucky Stars had the distinction of airing late Sunday night on the first day of summer vacation. I was about 11, making this '77 or so.I knew Dinah Shore from her daytime talk show and recognized Alan Hale Sr from his son's stint on Gilligan's Island, and I knew Errol Flynn from Robin Hood airing Sunday afternoons. Didn't realize that was Abner Kravitz from Bewitched at all tho.I would not see this movie again for over 30 years, with the intention of watching it on New Year's Eve, then a tornado took out the power, so I had to wait.Cantor absolutely amused me to no end. I thought he was brilliant in the dual role of a look-alike as well as himself who no one could stand. Maybe the Cantor resentment doesn't carry over today as well as disdain for Margaret Hamilton or Lionel Barrymore, but Cantor really got it in that mental hospital.For some reason, I remember Ann Sheridan's number. She's very lovely and I understand she was popular for her time, but she's hardly striking and that hairnet deal isn't appealing. Maybe that is why I remembered her; for that odd hairnet.Most astonishing for me, upon purchasing the movie on DVD, was seeing Hattie McDaniel's Ice Cold Katie number.Where I live, in the south, this number was cut, out of some odd feeling of being considerate now? Her reprisal with Cantor was kept in. I think it was removed because of MS native Willie Best's portrayal, now regarded as offensive.I'll always enjoy this movie (being a lot longer than I recalled) simply because it means no school the next morning, if nothing else.

This is a Cavalcade of Stars ( the storyline production of which is the pretext for the show) an inside look at showbiz. which is all great. With Bogart and Garfield doing extemporaneous drama, it is every bit like a TV variety show. The effect is very modern and the talent all top notch. Edie Cantor, even after familiarity during the Fifties seems bizarre as ever. Cantor dances like a magician and/or juggler. When he starts clapping and dancing like a seal, it is really all him. Quite a display. And it could be said to be pretty much the Edie Cantor Show. The songs in this particular flick hold up really well. It is still entertaining and it is history as well.This film is a great little entertainer and carries you along all the way to The End in first class spirits. The War plays almost no part in the story.

All-around entertainer Eddie Cantor has a dual role in this Warner Bros. studio revue, playing himself and an aspiring dramatic actor named "Joe Simpson" who can't find work because people laugh when they see him. The plot is initially interesting due to Mr. Cantor's comic situation, but it wears thin quickly. Although he was his studio's biggest star in 1943, Humphrey Bogart is billed first due to the alphabet; he appears only briefly. Cantor is supported mainly by Joan Leslie (as Pat Dixon) and Dennis Morgan (as Tommy Randolph), likable as a songwriter and singer.Of the superstar cameos, Bette Davis is most showcased; she sings "They're Either Too Young or Too Old" (a hit for Kitty Kallen). Another non-singer, Errol Flynn is surprisingly good, singing and dancing an English ditty called "That's What You Jolly Well Get". Then record and radio star Dinah Shore is featured relatively prominently. These variety movies became very popular when sound films became vogue as audiences could see several of their favorite stars singing, dancing, and participating in a variety of skits. During World War II, they had a resurgence in popularity.***** Thank Your Lucky Stars (9/25/43) David Butler ~ Eddie Cantor, Joan Leslie, Dennis Morgan, Bette Davis

Once you relax and decide to enjoy this film and not be critical about it; this film is a lot of fun. I mean, here we have Hollywoods finest, at time, at Warner Brothers, sometimes, looking embarrassed with the question of why they got talked into making this film, but it was for the war effort, and it's amusing to see non-musical performers trying to be musical. You couldn't get away with a film like this today. I mean, who would agree to sing and dance when they know that they can't sing and dance. Can't you just see Brad Pitt and Leonardo Di Caprico singing and dancing in the number "We're Just A Couple of Song and Dance Men" which was a number performed by Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby in Blue Skies? Or, on the other hand, maybe I can! Actually, there's a few surprises in this film: Of course, I would get shot if I didn't mention Bette Davis singing and dancing to "They're Either Too Young or Too Old", and doing it very, very, well! So well, that the song became a Juke Box hit after she introduced the song in the movie. In an interview she stated that she was happy to introduce the song! One up for Ms. Davis! Another surprise was Alexis Smith, because at that time, I didn't know that she was a song and dance artist, and when she sang "Some Sunday Morning" in San Antonio with Errol Flynn sitting in the saloon watching her, we thought that her singing was probably dubbed, but no, it was her singing, but who knew that she was an expert in the dancing department as well? As for Eddie Cantor: Sorry people, I'm just not an Eddie Cantor fan, but I do give him credit for being one of the great artists, among otters, at that period of time. He's an incredible performer, but I just don't like him! But, at the end of the movie when the curtain closes with The End on it, it reminds me of attending a High School Variety Show. There's just something schoolish about it. The feel that you have just witnessed a High School play and that you're sitting in the audience. The curtains close like a High School Auditorium Currain! This is a lot of fun seeing what some of the contract players can do with a song and dance musical, and it should just be enjoyed! Great entertainment!
