A woman is forced to decide which of her dreams she'd like to come true in this
musical-
comedy drama.
Billie Golden (
Isabel Rose) is a young woman who dreams of being a successful cabaret singer and often imagines herself performing in a swank lounge or starring in a classic movie
musical of the 1940s. At the moment, however,
Billie is singing in a dingy cocktail lounge near an airport and lives in a ramshackle row house in Queens with her hard-drinking mother (
Alix Korey). One day,
Billie bumps into an old friend from high school,
Greg Ellenbogen (
Cameron Bancroft); as it happens,
Greg is now a very successful lawyer, and he still carries a torch for
Billie. While
Greg loves
Billie and can easily give her all the creature comforts of life, she's also infatuated with
Elliot (
Andrew McCarthy), a hipster piano player who believes in her abilities as a singer. When
Greg asks
Billie for her hand in marriage, she's forced to decide between love and security or the career in music for which she's always longed. Also screened under the title
Standard Time,
Anything but Love includes an appearance by legendary entertainer
Eartha Kitt; leading lady
Rose also wrote the film's screenplay.
