Love and Luck (film)

Love and Luck (French: L'amour et la veine) is a 1932 French comedy film directed by Monty Banks and starring Max Dearly, Ginette Gaubert and Olga Valéry. It is the French-language version of the British film Money for Nothing also directed by Banks but with a different cast. Such multiple-language versions were common in the early years of sound before dubbing came to be used more widely. The film's sets were designed by the art director Jean D'Eaubonne. It was one of the first films to premiere at the Grand Rex cinema in Paris which had been constructed by Jacques Haïk who also produced the film, and was a popular success.
