Product Description
Multi-star Warner musical extravaganza featuring all their major contract players of the time. A moral booster for the troops at the time of its production, it still serves well as an entertaining piece today.

Cutting Loose
20 April 2002
A number of Warner Brothers' top stars get a chance to do something different in this wartime musical. Dennis Morgan, Joan Leslie, and Eddie Cantor star as ... performers trying to get into an all-star performance that will feature some of the top stars of the day. This plot serves as a link to various numbers performed by actors not usually seen in musical rolls. That's the fun of this film. Errol Flynn's considerable charisma is on display in his bar room Cockney song which also demonstrates his physical agility. Bette Davis puts in a game effort singing "Their Either Too Young Or Too Old", which also includes her being thrown about in a dance number. Alexis Smith also gets tossed around, lifted, and twirled in another dance number. Olivia de Havilland, George Tobias, and Ida Lupino are jitterbugging twits in a number that shows de Havilland's sense of humour and willingness to look silly. Ann Sheridan sings to a group of girls about love, looking very beautiful as she does so. Alan Hale and Jack Carson do a long duet, while a very awkward John Garfield sing-speaks "Blues in the Night." Humphrey Bogart has an amusing bit where the always amusing S.Z. Sakall browbeats the tough guy. Perhaps best of all is a rousing all-black number featuring Hattie McDaniel that is full of energy. Thank Your Lucky Stars isn't a great musical jammed with memorable songs. It's memorable because of the performances of its non-musical cast. The connecting plot is passable and sometimes interferes with what the audience really wants to see, but not enough to be a liability. Fans of film will want to see this one at least once. It's one of a kind.

Thank Your Lucky Stars
17 Dec 2005
When Eddie Cantor gets involved in setting up a celebrity wartime revue for troops at home and abroad, the hilarious results are spectacular. See the Warner Brothers roster of all-star talent as you've never seen them before!
Errol Flynn performing "That's What You Jolly Well Get", John Garfield singing "Blues in the Night" and Bette Davis lamenting "They're Either Too Young Or Too Old" are just three of the priceless gems in this delightful collection.

A great example of 50's star studded film magic.
19 Jun 1999
Well, how many fifties stars do you remember or know of? In Thank your lucky stars you should at least recognise one or two of them. The big name line up consists of (but not only) Olivia de Havilland, Errol Flynn and features a wonderful cameo by Bogey himself, although he isn't quite acting like the seasoned gumshoe that we're used to seeing. The storyline rattles along at quite a pace with the main plot concerning a stage production being put on, and of course the obligatory love interest thrown into the mix as well, but the real reason that this picture is such a little gem are the number of fun bit parts played by some of Hollywood's all time greats, any fan of the genre should sit back and enjoy.
