Dir: Philip Brandon
Starring: Vera Lynn and Frederick Leister
A young dancer trying to make it in London during World War II discovers that people like her singing voice
This rarely seen musical centres around the ‘Forces’ Sweetheart’ and is a slice of nostalgia that seems difficult to observe today. It features one stock shot taken from a signal box of a passing LMS express hauled by a ‘Royal Scot’ Class 6P 4-6-0, a shot that appeared initially in Night Mail (1936).
