Charles Saggers, a Cockney busker, falls for a beautiful young waif, but loses her when she is taken up by socialites and turned into a West End star.
In a career lasting over 30 years, Charles Laughton created an astonishing gallery of famous film characterisations, from Henry VIII to Captain Bligh. In tonight's film, produced by his own company in 1938, he gives one of his most moving performances as the busker who loses the girl he loves to the bright lights inside the theatre and returns to find his own happiness with his old friends in the theatre queue.
