An Italian tenor and movie star, played by Italian tenor and movie star Nino Martini, and an English girl (Patricia Roc) meet on a station. While he rescues her dog from a fight, his bags are stolen, they miss their trains, and experience a night of adventures and mishaps before reaching their destination in Rome and a hearts-and-flowers denouement. An occasionally diverting British-made comedy, enlivened by a supporting cast that includes Bonar Colleano, Stanley Holloway and the soon-to-be great stage actress Irene Worth.
Proves that he is still astonishing live - and long may he remain so.
Most enjoyable, and well worth watching. Really enjoyed the concert and the songs. I shall certainly keep a look out for any further concerts. Have his music but the concert was the "icing on the cake".
A dapper Stewart is backed up by the 60-piece BBC Concert Orchestra. Stewart's velvety voice seems to have been made especially for singing such classics as 'Blue Moon' and 'They Can't Take That Away From Me'. On these tracks, he is smooth and charming, bringing that particularly Rod Stewart-esque brand of intrigue and play to these intriguing and playful songs. The highlight of this set is the guest appearance of Chrissie Hynde, who joins Stewart for a duet rendition of 'As Time Goes By' (on the album As Time Goes By: The Great American Songbook Volume II that role is filled by Queen Latifah). It's a pleasure to see two pop-rock stars taking such pleasure in interpreting such a classic. Hynde's voice is flat and deadpan, contrasting nicely with Stewart's expressiveness and candor. Plus, they engage in a very playful back and forth while exchanging lines, making the entire performance a delight.
