"Luck Be a Lady" is a song written and composed by #FrankLoesser in 1950 and first performed by #RobertAlda. The song was featured in the musical #GuysAndDolls. The lyrics relates the expected etiquette that a lady will stay with the gentleman who escorts her and not wander. The #gambler, #SkyMasterson, hopes that he will win a bet if luck is truly a lady who is by his side.

Guys and Dolls is a better film whenever it forgets it’s a musical. Brando charms, Sinatra cracks wise, and the songs mostly get in the way. A story about faith, chance, and what happens when talking outshines singing.
