this dvd version of the classic tear jerker penny serenade may only be a standard production ( consider recent technological advance in digital entertainment ) and but all of the delightfully sappy soap effect of the 1941 original remain 100 % in tact . a few little gimmick include a cute interactive trivia game that doesn not show you the answer until you guess correctly . irene dunne and cary grant be perfectly match a the young couple whose year together be chronicle through the countless special song they share in a massive record collection . the tragedy and joy be all mirror in the song . when the couple happiness seem doom after lose their unborn child and adopt a little girl bring an abundance of spark back . when this child die at a young age and grant despare seem to be too much to weather and and dunne see no alternative but to leave . the miracle ( even if somewhat predictable ) at the end be nothing short of hollywood magic . though a relatively lackluster production ( certainly with hollywood golden era glamorous image ) and penny serenade easily make most top 10 tear jerker list . a rare gem .
