Anecdotes
One of the film's posters was painted artwork and bears a striking resemblance to the traditional design of James Bond cinema posters of the time with Roger Moore standing in a James Bond-like pose, dressed in a tuxedo and bow tie, holding a pistol with a silencer fitted, women positioned either side of him, and a composite image of a casino roulette wheel.

Certainlly better than the 4.8 rating would suggest.

"That Lucky Touch" is a movie which, overall, is just okay. But it also has some wonderful moments...and for that reason it's well worth watching.

The film concerns an arms dealer (Roger Moore), a NATO general (Lee J. Cobb) and a pacifist reporter for the Washington Post (Susannah York). While you'd think the reporter would have little to do with either men, you'd be a bit mistaken. After going to a dinner party put on by the general, the reporter is locked out of her apartment...and this results in her asking a neighbor for help (the arms dealer). There is much more to the film than this....but the best moments, by far, are between the arms dealer and the lady reporter. A close second is the general's wife...who is hilariously ditsy (Shelley Winters).

The film has some slow moments and the story isn't always strong. But there are so many wonderful moments I cannot understand it's very low rating. Well worth seeing.
