I Could Go On Singing is a 1963 British-American musical drama film directed by Ronald Neame. It stars Judy Garland in her final film performance alongside Dirk Bogarde, and Jack Klugman. Originally titled The Lonely Stage, the film was renamed so that audiences would know that Garland sings in it; she had not sung in a film since A Star Is Born in 1954.

Although not a huge box-office success on release, the film won Garland much praise for her performance. The film had its world premiere at the Plaza Theatre in London's West End on 6 March 1963.[1] This was Garland's final film before her death in 1969.

In his memoir, Bogarde claimed that he had substantially rewritten Garland's lines, with her consent.[2]
