Lucky Jordan (Alan Ladd) is a tough but good-natured New York racketeer who tries to finagle his way out of Army service. Despite his efforts, Jordan is drafted, but soon goes AWOL, with a lovely USO worker (Helen Walker) dogging his heels. She tries to arouse Jordan’s patriotism, but he is unmoved until a gang of enemy spies beat up an old lady con artist (Mabel Paige) whom Lucky regards as a surrogate mother. Using his underhanded “street smarts,” Jordan rounds up the spies and agrees to complete his military servitude. Lucky Jordan was one of several wartime films in which otherwise larcenous individuals are redeemed by channelling their talents for the good of Uncle Sam.

ALAN LADD one of my favorite movie stars next to TYRONE POWER and ERROL FLYNN.
"Two bits for a cup of coffee". Not at Starbucks.
WHAT…… you cut off the final 5 minutes of the film???? = ?
Universal Video, how about posting the Alan Ladd movie Blue Dahlia.
Helen Walker had an entirely different character in Nightmare Alley.
Where's the ending? What a waste of an hour and twenty minutes. Get your act together. BIG THUMBS DOWN! ???
Subtitles spanish ???
Not unlike "All Through the Night" and "Mr. Lucky."
Terrific pic! I LOVE the fashions!! Alan Ladd looks FABULOUS! Mabel Paige is a howl as the ersatz mother. I enjoyed the film immensely! AAA+
I listened to the radio drama. But I didn't know there was a movie. Cool.
a mess…
Raymond Chandler wrote "Ladd is hard, bitter and occasionally charming, but he is after all a small boy's idea of a tough guy. Bogart is the genuine article." This movie bears out the part about Ladd.
Cut off at the tail end. Bummer.
Good stuff. Thanks!
NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR OF BOB MITCHUM AND HE HAD TO PULL BIG BOB OUT OF POOL ON MORE THAN 1 TIME WHILE DOROTHY MITCHUM LOOKED AT ALAN AS A PORK COP
Fine if you like your movies with the Ending cut off!!
Does anyone know how it ends?
Just because a movie is from the forties, in black and white and stars Alan Ladd, doesn't qualify it as film noir. Look the term up.
Alan Ladd's look alike at the beginning of the movie looked remarkably like him. Bet he did alright with the women because of this.
Pretty funny movie! Great one liners!
SPOILER ALERT: THE ENDING HAS BEEN CUT OUT OF THE MOVIE. Anyway, pretty lousy movie,
