Luck Comes from Heaven has seen limited releases over the years, primarily existing in VHS and a few DVD compilations, which makes original prints quite sought after among collectors. The film’s rarity adds to its appeal, as not many know of its existence given the director's anonymity and the film's overshadowing by more prominent titles of the time. This film offers a unique peek into the romantic dramas of the early '40s, earning it a niche but dedicated following among enthusiasts of vintage cinema.
