We'll Meet Again
You always knew there was going to be a war on when there were confirmed sightings of Vera Lynn gargling her throat.
That joke still works because Dame Vera was still alive and going strong at the age of 103 in April 2020.
When there is a worldwide pandemic going on, get into the blitz spirit with We'll Meet Again. I am sure even during World War 2, some spiv was buying up all the toilet rolls hoping to sell it on for 10 times the price.
Lynn plays Peggy, a dancer with a good singing voice but she is reluctant to sing in public. With the help of a composer friend, Peggy ends up singing on a demo when the singer fails to show up.
Peggy quickly becomes a star when the record is a hit on the radio.
The film has Vera's signature song at the end. It is a simple story, quickly made as a moral booster for the troops.
It is not a great film, the antics with the BBC secretary and her boss is tiresome.
