Starring: Vanessa Redgrave and John Bird
A cabaret singer travels to Paris for a nightclub engagement and recalls romantic episodes in her life
This whimsical story was the ‘red’ part of a ‘portmanteau’ feature entitled Red White and Zero, the ‘white’ story was a film called The White Bus and the ‘zero’ part was a film called Ride of the Valkyrie (both featured separately). This dramatic musical followed the British new wave movement of the time that seems some what outdated today, yet it is arguably the best of the trio. It opens with a brief scene featuring the ‘Night Ferry’ at London Victoria station.
