Geronimo1967

Made slap bang in the middle of WWII, this rather clunky and stodgy romantic musical features forces sweetheart Vera Lynn as an aspiring dancer ("Peggy") who just happens to have a bit of a voice too. After a bit of an internal mis-hap at the BBC, a recording she made with her composer pal "Frank" (Ronald Ward) hits the airways and soon she is a talk of the town, and with the help of successful bandleader "Gerry" (Geraldo), a star of radio. It's very much a simple vehicle for a couple of fine numbers from the star; the plot is pretty much join-the-dots with a little humour and all in all we have some forgettable cinema fayre that had a job to do back then. Perhaps fans of her voice should just listen, there is little worth watching here, really.
