Essentially, this is a vehicle for the debonaire singing sensation Arthur Tracy ("The Street Singer") who leaves his career on the stage to take up with some travellers after his legendary voice begins to lose it's potency. He falls in love with the delightful Lilli Palmer ("Susan") and has a few romantic adventures. The songs, much as with the singer himself, are a bit tired - even the showstopper isn't really up to much. That said, it has a charm about it and the two stars actually gel quite well, aided by a not immediately recognisable Finlay Currie as his well meaning manager. Worth a watch, this - just not great.
