British singer Harriet Green is immensely popular. Unfortunately, the single star also has a career-damaging secret -- she has a baby girl. When Harriet receives blackmail threats, she relocates with her infant to South Africa. Decades later, a woman nearly identical to Harriet appears in London, but it's really her daughter, Harriet Hawkes (also Matthews). This younger Harriet begins to pass herself off as her ageless mother, leading to complications, romantic and otherwise.

Variety Staff Variety Mar 26, 2009
The screen adaptation and dialog is, for picture purposes, a better story than the stage version. It is more definite and coherent. Go to Full Review
Andre Sennwald New York Times Mar 25, 2006
Both in its suave and expert technical arrangement and in its superb Rodgers and Hart songs, this Gaumont-British screen edition of Benn W. Levy's London play is a considerable joy. Go to Full Review
MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin Jan 31, 2018
The technique of this production, its presentation, everywhere rises above the material it is handling, but the last dance-ensemble is an anti-climax which is apt to upset one's final impressions of the rest of the picture. Go to Full Review
