The movie tells the semi-fictional account of British actress and singer Gertrude Lawrence's life, starting in 1940. Gertrude watches a newsreel of her life and reminisces about her humble beginnings in Clapham, her early career with her vaudeville-performing father, and her rise to fame in Britain and the US.
