It is based on the 1912 novel of the same name by Compton Mackenzie,[1] which had previous been made into a 1932 film version Dance Pretty Lady by Anthony Asquith.

[2] It was shot at Denham Studios with sets designed by the art director Carmen Dillon.

Three elderly women stand by the bed and lecture Mrs Raeburn on the follies of her daughter joining the stage.

Later, Jenny is on stage as a ballerina, her father proudly and loudly pointing her out from the balcony, not that the audience wish to hear.

At an art gallery one day, she tries to demonstrate how a sculpture of a dancer is not physically possible and falls over in the process.

On her birthday Maurice takes Jenny dancing to the Covent Garden Ball and gives her a bracelet.

None of the principal characters, with the possible exception of roles done by Stanley Holloway and Michael Clarke appears credible.
