Synopsis:

Jenny Bowman is a successful singer who, while on an engagement at the London Palladium, visits David Donne to see her son Matt again, spending a few glorious days with him while his father is away in Rome in an attempt to attain the family that she never had. When David returns, Matt is torn between his loyalty to his father and his affection for Jenny.

The story of a famous singer trying to gain custody of her illegitimate son from his surgeon father, I Could Go On Singing (1963) is a curious mixture of soap opera and autobiographical elements from Judy Garland's personal life. Officially regarded as her final film, she filmed it immediately after making A Child is Waiting (1963) though I Could Go On Singing was released first. At the time of filming, Garland was going through an ugly child custody battle of her own with her soon-to-be-divorced husband, Sid Luft. The opportunity to make a film in England with Dirk Bogarde, an actor and friend she had long admired, provided the perfect escape from her problems at home but unfortunately Garland carried her troubles with her across the Atlantic.
