The pedestrian story about a faded movie star (Grace Bradley) who finds success on the radio is not aided by the constant repeat of its mediocre title song, although there is some amusing comic moments concerning her being kicked off a movie set for being "tempermental". This streamlined Republic feature (at less than an hour) is certainly not unwatchable but there is nothing remarkable about it either than some comic bits by the future "Mrs. Paroo" of "The Music Man", Pert Kelton, as her hot-tempered pal. Roger Pryor is one of two bumbling songwriters who takes an interest in the faded Bradley and helps her rise up again. It's too bad that he couldn't have worked with the screenwriter of the film and edited out some of the convoluted plot bits that make it unbelievable. William Newell also adds some comedy as Pryor's rubber-faced partner who reminds me of a second-rate Frank McHugh.
