However, she is aware that she is on the brink of bankruptcy and the Spolenski tour offers a final chance to save her finances. </p><p>Johnny Burns, an aspiring singer is hanging around a music shop he frequents when he spots Mrs. Baring's daughter, Joanna. Enraptured he pretends to be a piano-tuner and goes round to her house to help prepare the piano for a party held in Spolenksi's honour. Later, when Mrs. Baring is short of a butler, he offers his services and is so successful at his duties that he is taken on in a more permanent basis. He slowly begins to bond and court Joanna while doing his best to conceal his love of popular, modern music from Mrs Baring who is resolutely opposed to it and has forbidden her daughter to listen to it. Her financial problems continue to mount up and her phone is cut owing to unpaid bills. </p><p>Burns' friend and agent, Freddy, meanwhile has secured him an audition with Greenslade, a major popular record label, who are impressed with his performance. Convinced he is going to be a major star, they make plans to sign him up on a long-term contract. Burns' first demand of Greenslade is for money to pay for Mrs. Baring's telephone to be restored. Mrs. Baring is relieved by this gesture, but believes the money came from one of her other friends rather than Burns. </p><p>Burn's career swiftly takes off, he is engaged to perform at <a href="/wiki/Hippodrome,_London#The_Talk_of_the_Town" title="Hippodrome, London">The Talk of the Town</a>, while still keeping his new success a secret from the Barings. Mrs Baring has further problems when tickets for her Spolenski concerts sell badly, and he threatens to leave for home unless she is able to put up £3,000. Once again Burns secretly steps in, securing the money as an advance from Greenslades. After learning of Burns' fame, Joanna goes to his concert. When her mother discovers this, she grows furious and confronts both of them firing Burns and forbidding her daughter from seeing him again. In his anger, he calls her a "square". </p><p>Their rift is not helped by his next song, "The Lady is a Square" which appears to be directly mocking her. However, she relents when she discovers that he has secretly been paying her bills and that he is trying to abandon a concert of his, which is scheduled at the same time as her Spolenski concert, in a bid to help her ticket sales. Spolenski then falls ill, which turns out to be a blessing as it will mean they will be able to re-launch the tour with financial assistance from Greenslade. </p><p>Baring and her daughter attend Burns' concert where to their surprise he performs <a href="/wiki/Handel" class="mw-redirect" title="Handel">Handel</a>’s <a href="/wiki/Ombra_mai_fu" title="Ombra mai fu">Ombra mai fu</a> with the <a href="/wiki/National_Youth_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain" title="National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain">National Youth Orchestra</a>, to wild applause from his fans. Ultimately, they are able to agree on the co-existence of popular and classical music and Mrs. Baring ends the film dancing with Freddie as Johnny dances with Joanna to a swing instrumental. </p><p>As a joke, when Johnny is in the recording studio, one of the producers says "he is another Frankie Vaughan". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Lady_Is_a_Square&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Anna_Neagle" title="Anna Neagle">Anna Neagle</a> as Frances Baring</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Frankie_Vaughan" title="Frankie Vaughan">Frankie Vaughan</a> as Johnny Burns</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Janette_Scott" title="Janette Scott">Janette Scott</a> as Joanna Baring</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anthony_Newley" title="Anthony Newley">Anthony Newley</a> as Freddy</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wilfrid_Hyde-White" title="Wilfrid Hyde-White">Wilfrid Hyde-White</a> as Charles</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Christopher_Rhodes" title="Christopher Rhodes">Christopher Rhodes</a> as Greenslade</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kenneth_Cope" title="Kenneth Cope">Kenneth Cope</a> as Derek</li> <li>Josephine Fitzgerald as Mrs. Eady</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Harold_Kasket" title="Harold Kasket">Harold Kasket</a> as Spolenski</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Le_Mesurier" title="John Le Mesurier">John Le Mesurier</a> as Fergusson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ted_Lune" title="Ted Lune">Ted Lune</a> as Harry Shuttleworth</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mary_Peach" title="Mary Peach">Mary Peach</a> as Mrs. Freddy</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Lady_Is_a_Square&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The film features and names the then-new London nightclub The Talk of the Town and the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Festival_Hall" title="Royal Festival Hall">Royal Festival Hall</a> as venues.

Unfortunately, this latest variation in the Wilcox-Neagle dream world lacks two essentials – glamour and excitement. Anna Neagle remains too determinedly graceful in the face of Frances's money difficulties, while Frankie Vaughan's acting has none of the zest that he puts into his singing. Even the excellent work of the National Youth Orchestra seems more of an intrusion than an advantage, and Wilcox's direction suffers through straining too hard to contain both the gloss of "high life" and the more suburban course dictated by the screenplay."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><i><a href="/wiki/Variety_(magazine)" title="Variety (magazine)">Variety</a></i> wrote: "Herbert Wilcox hes whipped up a shrewd concoction of romance, comedy aid music, with the pic having afoot in both camps – the "pop" and classical music fields. ...
