Just My Luck (1957)

In the heart of a bustling jeweller's workshop, we find Norman Hackett (Norman Wisdom), a humble craftsman caught between the rhythm of his monotonous life and the captivating beauty of the window dresser across his workplace. While he silently nurtures an unspoken affection, his dreams of gifting her a stunning diamond pendant seem utterly unreachable, a feat that would take him a century of savings. A glimmer of hope emerges from the shadows as he's convinced to wager a meagre pound on a tantalizing six-horse accumulator at the renowned Goodwood races. With a bookmaker whose reputation is as murky as a foggy London night, the stakes are high and the odds are stacked against him. As Norman triumphs in the first five races, the tables turn dramatically. The bookie now owes him a staggering sixteen thousand pounds sterling, an amount that sends ripples of anxiety through everyone involved. Their futures precariously hang on the precipice of the final race. Uncertainty looms large and tension reaches a fever pitch. Can a miracle save them or will they succumb to the cruel hands of fate? Just My Luck (1957) is a delightful journey into the world of dreams, risks, and the thrilling unpredictability of destiny.
