Critic Reviews

John Lingan, Slant Magazine
Context is everything: With its mythic production long in the past, Lucky Lady now stands as a highly enjoyable, underappreciated adventure film. Approach with reasonable expectations, and enjoy.
Fr. Chris Carpenter, Movie Dearest
A handsome production...(but the script) apart from the threesome element and a few scattered, funny lines, is generally negligible.
