Lucky Partners
Lucky Partners is a 1940 American romantic comedy film starring Ronald Colman and Ginger Rogers. Directed by Lewis Milestone for RKO Radio Pictures, it is based on the 1935 Sacha Guitry film Good Luck. The picture was the only film pairing of Colman and Rogers, and Rogers' eleventh and final film written by Allan Scott.
Greenwich Village "sidewalk" portrait painter and caricaturist David Grant passes Jean Newton on the street. On a whim he wishes her good luck.
She works in a book shop directly across the street from his small second floor studio. When Jean makes a delivery, a rich woman gifts her a dazzling new gown she never wants to see again because it reminds her of its purchaser.
Believing David to bring her good luck, Jean asks him to go in halves with her on a ticket for a $150,000 sweepstakes horse race. He agrees only on condition that if they win she accompany him on a platonic trip to see the country before she settles down to staid married life in Poughkeepsie, New York. She and her fiancé, insurance salesman Frederick "Freddie" Harper, are dubious about the proposition, but David talks them into it.
When the pair's $2.50 ticket is one of the few that draw a horse, its value shoots up $12,000. Freddie wants to sell it, but the other two decide to try for the jackpot. Their horse does not even place, but Freddie informs Jean that he sold her half for $6000. Outraged at his duplicity, she offers half the money to David. He only accepts if she agrees to keep their bargain.
Their first stop is Niagara Falls. They book rooms as "brother and sister" two floors apart and retire early. However, due to a misunderstanding, the hotel clerk switches Jean's room to one adjoining David's, separated by locking double doors. Freddie, suspicious of David's intentions, secretly follows them there. Even though he finds their doors barred to one another during an attempted ambush, he is not appeased. Pretending to return home, he books himself a room with the intention of springing on them again in the middle of the night. Meanwhile, discovering that Jean finds his room more attractive than hers, David switches rooms with her. As the night passes, David and Jean converse by phone and agree to go dancing in the moonlight.
Everything is very romantic in the outdoor ballroom, one thing leads to another, and they share a kiss. Jean moves closer to David, but David, realizing he is violating the terms of his own proposition, farther away. They retire again, only to have Freddie barge into what he believes to be David's room, find Jean there, then knock down the common door, convinced David is hiding on the other side. Instead, David has checked out and left a note for Jean, which she refuses to share with Freddie.
En route back to New York City, David is stopped by a policeman, and when he admits the car is not his, is taken to jail. Shortly afterwards, the hotel house detective, put on the scent by the apprehending police, accuses Jean of working some sort of racket with David, and brings her and Freddie in on various charges.
