The story so far
Everything you need before watchingIn the dubbing room they ring the bell for silence and try to match speech to film. Guy Dexter can do it. Myrna Dalgleish cannot: her accent will not pass as Lady Anne. The sound man says he is there to record, not to perform miracles, and even cites Shaw. The director turns to Mary: if she cannot step in, they may shut down for good.

Questions, then the linesWhat does not to perform miracles mean here?
He can record sound, not fix her accent. A dry British refusal, not humility.
What does for good mean in shut down for good?
Permanently. They may close the production and never restart it.
Why invert The Lady Anne Erskine she is not?
It fronts the title, then denies it. Sharper than a plain she is not.
How do you translate throw away your future?
Waste your own prospects. The film line is a warning, not a literal toss.

Wait. She stops mid-line because she turned her head on camera.
