Saturday, November 15 - Lucky Night

Lucky Night (1939)

Myrna Loy is Cora, an heiress who gives it all up for the excitement of looking for a job and living on her own. She meets up with unemployed and flat broke Dick [Bill, not Dick] (Robert Taylor). The two of them embark on a wild night of gambling and winning, where everything they touch turns to gold. Pretty soon they're in love and, to the horror of Loy's father, tie the knot. They only sober up after hubby gives up his $35 a week job in order to put some excitement back into his life. 

This notion doesn't sit well with Cora, who by then has become accustomed to the security of a paycheck and making it on her own without the help of her wealthy father. (hmm... sounds like someone didn't watch the whole film.)
