Gertrude Lawrence ran away from her East End home in 1915 -to join the music-hall. Within a few years she had become a star of the London stage and later went on to Broadway, films and recordings - working with other legendary figures of show business. This spectacular musical biography depicts her rise to fame and wealth - and the great personal cost in terms of her private life. Julie Andrews plays Gertrude Lawrence with great vivacity and has what is often regarded as the finest part of her career.
