‘Getting Lucky’ is an offbeat musical documentary about Pierre Merkl the Third, a.k.a. ‘Mr. Lucky’, a man of many faces and unquestionably San Francisco’s most eccentric Private Investigator. [Spoilers] Like most of his detective cases, Pierre Merkl’s story has several surprises - not only is he a crafty private-eye who sometimes works with ex-mafia associates to get the dirty work done, but he’s also an accomplished oil painter as well as an eccentric lounge singer, who has been thrilling audiences with his Mr. Lucky act for decades. To protect his professional persona as a Private Detective, Pierre has always kept his various identities secret but now for the first time, driving around the city in his 1961 New Yorker, Lucky recalls the strange 20 year trip that it took to become Mr. Lucky, performing everywhere from Burning Man to Lincoln Center in a silk tie and fedora with martini in hand. As the high cost of living in San Francisco escalates, he’s forced to say goodbye to the city by the bay as he retires from private eye work to follow his heart wherever his act takes him. ‘Getting Lucky” isn’t about luck— it’s about the hard work, unrelenting confidence, and idiosyncratic creativity that it takes for a character like Lucky to exist at all.
