Penny Serenade Reviews
Lovely movie! The print's not so bad
This made me smile, brought tears to my eyes. It caught the attention of my husband (who never watches old movies with me), my 5 year old daughter sat through the whole show (I noticed some laughter, and then some quite moments from her). Really, they don't make movies like this anymore! It's honest, something we can relate to. It's left me with an impression, that made me write this review. I would love to share this with everyone.
The print is actually bearable, not as bad as some reviews, well, at least I sat through it all!
First Rate Schmaltz
I avoided this film for years because of it's tear-jerker reputation. For sure the sentiment is thrown at you in heavy dollops. That said I succumbed to the charm of this film and despite myself wiped away some moisture. Credit director George Stevens for keeping the proceedings solidly grounded from heavy-handedness. The film is also helped by the superb performances by stars Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. The curmudgeonly Edgar Buchanan also provides needed comic relief. Noteworthy is that this is the only film that Grant was nominated for a competitive Oscar. Also of note that Grant's nomination was the only one the film received.
