What happens
Second Fiddle is a 1957 British comedy film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Adrienne Corri, Thorley Walters, Lisa Gastoni and Richard Wattis. It was written by Robert Dunbar and Allan MacKinnon based on a story by Mary Cathcart Borer and Arnold Ridley, and produced by Dunbar for Act Films Ltd. It was Elvey's final film. The title comes from the phrase "to play second fiddle" in allusion to an orchestra, meaning to be ignored in relation to some other more important party whilst putting in as much effort.
