Throwback Thursday takes us back to the unsolved crimes of passion in the wealthy playground of Palm Beach, Florida. “Lady Luck” is notable for offering no opening narration, usually featuring some kind of golf metaphor, to set the stage of the crime either pre or post credits. Chris (Rob Estes) and Rita (Mitzi Kapture) go undercover at a moving underground casino whose owner (John Vargas) just killed on of his clients for not being able to pay his debts. Vargas is adequately menacing as the hot-headed Vargas who isn’t above hitting a woman from time to time including both Rita, who goes undercover as a Blackjack dealer, and the local realtor (Holly Gagnier) he’s strong-arming to help him.
