Torch Singer

A young woman is left on her own. She has a child. The child’s father is nowhere to be found. What she earns is not enough. She sees that she cannot keep the child. She gives her up for adoption. Then she makes her own way. She starts singing in night clubs. Her voice makes her known. The songs she sings are about love that goes unanswered. The film’s title comes from that kind of song. She performs under another name. Years pass. She does not forget her child. She sets out to find her. Claudette Colbert, Ricardo Cortez and David Manners appear in the seventy one minute film, an American production Alexander Hall and George Somnes finished in 1933.
