This is quite a fun story that depicts just the efforts that folks will go to for stardom. Lyricist “Danny” (Roger Pryor) is determined to make a go of things with actress “Polly” (Grace Bradley) so he can kick-start her career but that can’t happen whilst he is yoked to his writing partner “Mike” (William Newell). He’s a bit devastated by these shenanigans and seeks some solace with her pal “Mattie” (Pert Kelton). Swiftly rejuvenated, somewhat, “Mike” decides it’s time for a little retribution and so he sets about driving a wedge between the new lovers and this involves him playing quite an entertaining little game with “Blossom” (Joyce Compton) who he hopes to use as a tool to instil just an hint of jealousy. As you’d expect, this is all going to be a messy affair - but how much more so when someone tries to do a little bit of extorting too? It’s all rather formulaic, sure, but there’s just a soupçon of mischief going on here that Pryor, Newell and Compton work well to deliver as well as there being a little humour to be had from a script that’s not exactly taxing, but amiable enough. There’s probably a little too much of the indifferent title song, but at least Pryor and Bradley did their own singing and the whole thing rather effortlessly passes an hour that raises the odd smile, but that you’ll never remember.
