Vera Lynn Collection

Film Description

Features Rhythm Serenade (Wellesley, 1943), We'll Meet Again (Brandon, 1943) and One Exciting Night (Forde, 1944).

Rhythm Serenade is a patriotic musical romance in which Vera Lynn stars as a young teacher who accepts an offer to run a day school for the employees of a munitions factory.

In We'll Meet Again, Lynn plays a young dancer trying to make it in London during World War II. She discovers that people like her singing voice too, and although she is reluctant to sing at first, she finally does and becomes a star. This musical is loosely based upon the career of the British "Forces' Sweetheart" Vera Lynn, the popular BBC radio singer who spent much time entertaining the troops in London. It all begins when she falls in love with a Scottish soldier who breaks her heart when he jilts her in favour of her best friend. Following the break up, she decides to leave London and spend her time entertaining troops all over Europe.

One Exciting Night is a musical farce in which Lynn plays a would-be singer desperate at having a shot to impress producer Stewart with her abilities. Her chance comes at a benefit concert that is also the scene of an attempted kidnapping of Stewart by a gang after a priceless Rembrandt. She thwarts the rascals and wins over the audience with her singing.
