After the end of the Second World War, Lilli Marlene and American reporter Steve Moray plan to marry, but when Lilli gets a chance for a big break on the London stage, it throws their plans into disarray.
It was made at Southall Studios with sets designed by the art director Ray Simm.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Although Lisa Daniely has a pleasant voice, the ineffective musical numbers do not help to enliven this tedious picture of show business in London."[6]
Leslie Halliwell said: "Poorly confected programme filler, an unnecessary sequel if ever there was one."[7]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "poor", writing: "Long, stiff and tedious."[8]
