Felix (Maxwell Reed) Fenton's nightclub is an oasis of glamour in rationed, post-war, cold, dirty Britain. Others have told the story.
I love Anne Crawford, and she is icily beautiful. Here she is supposed to be "class", the "good girl" in contrast to Christine Norden's rotter. But she's really not a very nice character - she is waspish and peevish, and rude and offhand to her devoted fiancé. She has been set up in a flat by Felix, her employer (he owns an off-licence as well as a nightclub), paying less than the rent. Felix wants to marry her and she accepts favours from him while giving nothing back.
Films like this showed a glamorous world that most movie-goers couldn't afford. For me, the songs and the fight scenes go on too long, but they were probably also audience-pleasures.
