In this Art Deco drama the Lead character, described as "The Little Hunchback", has a beautiful singing voice but an ugly body. He cannot succeed as a crooner on radio until he hires a handsome "Dummy' to lip sync for the studio audience.The Handsome "Dummy" is morally bankrupt. The "Little Hunchback is pure of thought and deed.
Had this film been cast with anyone other than Ralph Forbes it might have been credible. However, Forbes a handsome leading man type of Actor with piercing blue eyes. He is totally unsuited to play an ugly little hunchback.
Don't expect this movie to make a lot of sense. It gets bogged down because of its heavy handed moralizing. Watch it instead for its Art Deco themes which run throughout the movie. There are some really usually beautiful moment sin the film. This alone makes it worth watching.
