On the abandoned liner, Greer saw a poster of Francesca is singing and he said to himself:
Greer: "Francesca." Nice t*tties. Not that you can hold a candle to the future Mrs. Greer, though.
What is the meaning of "Not that you can hold a candle"?
I heard the idiom "can't hold a candle to" but here it used differently. So How can I understand it?
