The Show Goes On (1937)

Gracie Fields plays a mill worker whose life is turned upside down when she is plucked from obscurity by an ailing composer (Owen Nares), who sees a chance to boost his work and make Gracie a star. This film also stars John Stuart, Horace Hodges, Edward Rigby, Amy Veness, Arthur Sinclair and Cyril Ritchard, and was believed to be a semi biographical account on Gracie Fields' own rise to fame from humble stock to becoming Britain's biggest star in the 1930's.
