In this delightful musical comedy filled with memorable songs in the style of Depression-era Hollywood musicals, the hero is a youthful John Mills near the start of his cinematic career, starring as the playboy son of a music factory tycoon. He woos the girl of his dreams by anonymously giving her a Rolls-Royce. Little does he know that beautiful Vera, played by Grete Mosheim, is a poor shop girl who works at his father's factory. When he discovers this, he tries to conceal his connection to avoid a family scandal. Produced at the prestigious British Gaumont Studio at the beigh of its fame, Car of Dreams is a charming comedy of hidden identities that offers fascinating glimpses of 1930s London. In a supporting role, factory worker Robertson Hare, who appeared much later on Benny Hill, steals a scene with a hilarious musical instrument testing sequence.
