Movie Reviews of Pennies From Heaven
Movie Review: The enormously popular title song became a popular selection for amateur singers everywhere...,
Summary: 3 Stars
In one film of the period, made away from Paramount at Columbia, Crosby changed for the better his devil-may-care attitude long enough to help a down-and-out family...
"Pennies from Heaven" cast him as a friendly vagabond, released from prison after being convicted on a false charge...
He befriends the daughter (Edith Fellows) and father (Donald Meek) of an executed murderer, setting them up in a ramshackle mansion that he turns into a profitable caf?...
Sentimental and curiously melancholic, the film was one of the very few Crosby movies to acknowledge the Depression...
Summary of Pennies From Heaven
Legendary crooner Bing Crosby sings and dances his way through this charming and delightful story of a wanderer who drifts into the lives and hearts of the residents of the small town of Middletown, New Jersey. Featuring music and lyrics by Johnny Burke and Arthur Johnston, including the classics "So Do I," "Pennies from Heaven" (Academy Award? nominee for Best Music/Song), "Skeleton in the Closet" and "Let's Call a Heart a Heart."With incredible supporting performances by the amazing Louis Armstrong, the beautiful Madge Evans, and the talented Edith Fellows, PENNIES FROM HEAVEN is one of the crown jewels from the golden age of Hollywood when real stars weren't found only in heaven...and a fistful of pennies still went a long way. Stars: Bing Crosby, Madge Evans, Edith Fellows, Donald Meek, John Gallaudet, Tommy Dugan, Louis Armstrong, Nydia Westman.
