What I Could Go on Singing Is About

Ronald Neame's film opens with Jenny Bowman, a successful singer, on an engagement at the London Palladium. While she is there she goes to the house of David Donne to see Matt, the son she gave up years ago, and spends a few days with the boy while his father is in Rome. In those few days she tries to build the family she never had. When David returns, the boy is caught between loyalty to his father and his feeling for her. The film is about the distance between the woman on the stage and the woman in the dressing room, and it is remembered as Judy Garland's last, which gives the traffic between its songs and its drama a different weight now.
