Isabel Rose stars as a cabaret singer who has to choose between the art that she loves and a wealthy life as the wife of a corporate lawyer. Isabel has a pleasant voice and she attractive looks, but she is not a great singer, or a glamorous star. Maybe that is why this film succeeds so well. She isn't a Judy Garland, but she obviously has is a love for singing the old standards, and it is obvious that music is part of her soul.
The film is bursting with charm and atmosphere. While is is not of the technical caliber of the great MGM musicals, it has a raw joy that is seldom seen in films. This film has more sincerity, more heart, more soul and more music than any romantic comedy or musical that I have seen in recent years. It is the real thing by real people who mean it. A rarity and something to treasure.
