Description by OLDIES.com:

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 height 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 "The Benny Hill Show," steals a scene with a hilarious musical instrument testing sequence.

Product Description:

This British musical comedy stars John Mills in one of his earliest roles as playboy Robert Miller, the son and heir of a wealthy tycoon who owns a musical instrument factory. Robert is in love with Vera Hart (Grete Mosheim), a poor girl who works at his father's factory--but neither is aware of the other's true identity. When Robert anonymously buys Vera a Rolls-Royce, he discovers her low social class and must further conceal his identity to avoid a family scandal.
