Movie Reviews of Penny Serenade

Movie Review: Grant, Dunne & Stevens Elevate This Soaper
Summary: 3 Stars

This sad soap opera works because of the actors. Cary Grant is excellent in the male lead, adding some good, much-needed comedy in spots. Irene Dunne is very believable in her role as his wife. Edgar Buchanan ("Applejack") elevates this film with a very likable role and Beulah Bondi's "Miss Oliver" looks like the proverbial "old battle-ax" but proves to be a very caring person.

Another good feature of this film is that it was directed by George Stevens, one of the best of all time.

As with all the reviewers here, I have yet to find a good print of this movie. Whether VHS or DVD, it's always a lousy transfer. Even a disc claiming to give us a "remastered" version is still no good (see the reviews). This film deserves better.
