After making her name in the 19th Century music halls, Trottie True is recruited to join the legendary Gaiety theatre in London. As a ‘Gaiety Girl’, she attracts the attention of some very well-bred admirers, including love-struck Lord Digby Landon, who she marries – but can an aristocrat really be happy with a young lady from the theatre? Their love is soon put to the test…  This British Technicolour film from the late 1940s is sprinkled throughout with song and dance routines and lavish sets and costumes. With music by Benjamin Frankel, full of old world charm with a delightful opening theme and waltzes such as the wistful “Dreaming”, composed in 1911 by English ‘waltz king’ Archibald Joyce, evoking memories of the Edwardian era.
