Just My Luck was an important step in the career of Norman Wisdom for several reasons. It's principally notable for the introduction of actor Edward Chapman, whom many would come to know as series regular Mr Grimsdale. Here he's the stuffy foil to Norman's romantic plans regarding his jewel-making job, where he'll do anything to possess some of the wealth about him. The chance comes in the form of an accumulator bet at Goodwood races thanks to a slimy Leslie Phillips. Another star cameo of note was a second appearance by Margaret Rutherford (after Trouble in Store) as an eccentric animal owner. But the real advance with the Wisdom formula was that--after a reasonably serious plot line--Norman finally gets the girl.
On the DVD: This is a straight transfer from video. So although the mono sound and 4:3 ratio don't improve on anything previously available, at least it won't deteriorate further.--Paul Tonks

In the need for our Hero to woo the girl he is need of some cash, and unable to obtain it from his pennypinching mother he takes a gamble on an Accumulator bet on the Horses. As each of his horses start to come in, this gives rise to some hilarious events, culminating in some classic british comedy right up until the finishing post.

Norman Wisdom is absolutely timeless, and his luck is IN this time!! He puts a pound on an accumulator, so he can redeem the diamond pendent he want to give as a present to his girlfriend. He cant believe it when he wins every time!! Laughs all the way. I love Norman!!
