Very disappointing...

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The Plot.As Julie prepares to leave her husband Roger, she begins to play through a stack of recordings, each of which reminds her of events in their lives together. One of them is the song that was playing when she and Roger first met in a music store. Other songs remind her of their courtship, their marriage, their desire for a child, and the joys and sorrows that they have shared. A flood of memories comes back to her as she ponders their present problems and how they arose.Jesus this plot sounds depressing. The 40s were a time when Hollywood was in flux. Late 40s already saw the rise of television which would explode in the 50s. The movies made in the 40s were largely the built on post war conventions we don't hold dearly today.I found it very hard to look beyond the dated sensibility of this film. The script conventions that have been done a million times. Maybe it's just me. i don't know.I just found the movie annoying.

Penny Serenade is basically the movie version of life for people. Love is pressed into the wall by problems both internal and external. Their attempts to create a family was staring to crumble and left them on the verge of divorce. This movie tend to be magnificent when it comes to showing these problems and how the couple try to handle them together, even though it affects their relationship. The emotion really shows between the two and the facts about marriage are proved quite true by their actions. The movie itself seems interesting in the black and white format and if yo have not seen this film or ever wanted to see it again, do so now!

this movie was very cute but also very sad, this poor couple is very much in love and want nothing more then to have children to love as well. but there's nothing but disater for them when they loss there unborn child in a earthquake, then finally able to adopt a little girl and go through so much just to keep her only for her to fall ill and die. this tears them apart and they almost split up when they get a call that there is a two year old boy that they can adopt and they are so over joyed that all the pain they felt moments before almost vanish. some of my favorite scene's where when they first bring there baby girl home they are trying to be quite but the stairs creek and just the angle of the camera and the look on there faces as they run up the stairs so not to wake the baby is just precious.

this movie was very unusual story but also sad. The fast marriage then adopting the baby (Trina), to fill that gap in the marriage, then finally the loss of her. this movie did not really keep my attention it seemed to drag on which is a turn off for me. the editing in the movie had some glitch's it seemed to jump or hesitate, though they are not that noticeable. Another thing I saw the lighting seemed to bright in a couple of scenes, and yes it is black and white but when there is to much light, it makes it easier to notice because there is not the other colors to blend into. Over all it was interesting movie again dragging at some parts, but its plot was quite complex and sad.
