An atmospheric, musical weepie-a film, as the original Variety review noted, "of which even Hollywood might be proud." The story concerns a singer in a small Viennese beer garden (Richard Tauber) who is whisked off to London and a successful opera career, leaving behind his sweetheart (Kathleen Kelly) and also his heart. "Surefire: direction and production have that continental touch which is so arresting" (Variety).
