Details

Summary
The title character is a singer about to try for a comeback in a nightclub on Staten Island. Her old friend and accompanist tries to help, and another old friend, a caterer, also attempts to boost her morale with help from the teenager who lives in the same apartment building. Meanwhile, LouLou’s sister pushes her to publish her memoirs. The first performance is a bomb, but some of the sting is alleviated by the surprise appearance of LouLou’s ex-husband, now an up-and-coming congressman. Unfortunately, his amorous attempt at reconciliation is only an attempt to stop her from publishing her memoirs, especially certain incriminating photographs.
