Did you know
ā¢ In her autobiography, Doris Day reported that she was suffering from nervous exhaustion following the strenuous production schedule for "Calamity Jane" (1953) and did not feel sturdy enough to begin work on "Lucky Me" (1954). When her husband-manager Martin Melcher and Warner Bros. strong-armed her into moving forward, she suffered what she termed a "nervous breakdown" during filming.
ā¢ Doris Day did not want to make this movie but had to under contract obligations.
ā¢ When her MGM contract did not pan out, Nancy Walker returned to the Broadway stage in 1944. "Lucky Me" (1954) was the only film she made in the 1950s and would be her final movie musical.
