Made slap bang in the middle of WWII, this rather clunky and stodgy romantic musical features forces sweetheart Vera Lynn as an aspiring dancer ("Peggy") who just happens to have a bit of a voice too. After a bit of an internal mis-hap at the BBC, a recording she made with her composer pal "Frank" (Ronald Ward) hits the airways and soon she is a talk of the town, and with the help of successful bandleader "Gerry" (Geraldo), a star of radio. It's very much a simple vehicle for a couple of fine numbers from the star; the plot is pretty much join-the-dots with a little humour and all in all we have some forgettable cinema fayre that had a job to do back then. Perhaps fans of her voice should just listen, there is little worth watching here, really.
