Rainbows: Penny Serenade

I had never heard of the movie "Penny Serenade" before this weekend, but understandably, because it was produced in 1941. What I found was a lovely story starring two classic actors I admire.

The movie's leads are Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, playing a married couple struggling through the adoption process and parenthood.

While the movie is not a memorable classic, it shows two characters acting like real people. They have money problems, they go to work, their baby cries. They are saddened by loss and not being able to get pregnant.

Though it is in not one of my favorite movies made during this age of Hollywood, it is a different glimpse into what life was like in the 1940's.
