I Could Go on Singing

A rare chance to see Judy's last film in which she plays singer Jenny Bowman, a character not a million miles away from the real Judy. It's a tour de force performance, even more compelling when one tries to discern where Judy ends and the neurotic lonely Jenny begins.

In London for a week long engagement at the Palladium Jenny looks up her old flame David Donne (a perfectly cast Dirk Bogarde) whose adopted son Matt is actually the boy Jenny gave up years ago. She's back to see her son and whisks him away from boarding school for a few magical days in London. In true melodramatic style things unravel quickly and Jenny is forced once more to make a heartbreaking choice.

As a swansong for the gay icon you couldn't ask for more, this is Judy's finest hour.
