Just My Luck is a 1957 British sports comedy film directed by John Paddy Carstairs and starring Norman Wisdom as a worker in a jewellery shop.[1]

Plot

Norman Hackett (Norman Wisdom) works in a jewellers workshop and dreams about meeting the shop window dresser over the road from his workshop. He wants to buy her a diamond pendant and is persuaded to bet a pound on a six horse accumulator at the Goodwood races. The bookie starts to worry when Norman, after winning on the first five races, looks like he could win over sixteen thousand pounds.[2]

Critical reception

BFI Screenonline wrote, "Just My Luck is not a piece of comedic genius, nor even the best of Wisdom's films, but it's an amiable, well-constructed piece that recalls a gentler age."[3]
