Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Oliver Sandys' novel Mops was the inspiration for the easy-to-take British musical Born Lucky. Rene Ray stars as a servant girl who happens to possess a thrilling voice. With the aid of handsome John Longden, Ray rises to fame as a radio singer. The film is of interest as an early directorial effort of Michael Powell (his ninth feature, to be exact). Born Lucky was distributed to the English-speaking world by MGM British.
