So, 'Good Luck' from 1935 is a charming little piece that combines comedy with a touch of romance. The story revolves around Marie, who wins a hefty lottery thanks to a somewhat mysterious older gentleman named Claude, whom she dubs her good luck charm. The film's pacing is quite sprightly, with moments of whimsy and just the right amount of tension as Marie navigates her engagement and newfound fortune. The atmosphere feels lighthearted yet has a subtle undercurrent of the uncertainties that come with sudden wealth. Performances are engaging, with a kind of playful chemistry that adds to its charm. It’s an interesting glimpse into pre-war Americana, with a tone that reflects the optimism of the era.

Finding a good copy of 'Good Luck' can be a bit of a challenge, as it's not as widely circulated as other titles from the same period. Most collectors will come across a few prints, typically in decent condition, but originals are certainly more sought after. The film has garnered a niche interest among those who appreciate early sound cinema and the unique blend of comedy and romance that characterizes 1930s films. Its rarity adds a layer of appeal for collectors who enjoy exploring the less mainstream gems of the era.
