Film version of Jim Cartwright's acclaimed play starring Jane Horrocks (who played Little Voice in the stage play) and Michael Caine Jane Horrocks (Little Voice) takes centre stage as the 14-year-old Lancashire girl who can only relate to the world by mimicking the musical hits of pre-50s divas in her bedroom; a refuge from her widowed mother's sniping, boozing and whoring. When Ray Say (Michael Caine), a tacky night-club impresario recognises LV's talent her mother soon hears the sound of pounds, shilling and pence. But as LV finds herself coerced into the glitterball world of Ray and Mr Boo the fragile shell of her sanity begins to crack.
