Featured review
Near remake of "Penny Serenade"
Ray Milland and Gene Tierney star in a near remake of Penny Serenade. They can't have children and explore the avenue of adoption. In the Beulah Bondi role of the agency inspector, Fay Bainter takes over. If you've seen her in Journey for Margaret, you know she can come across as concerned for children very well. This one has a couple of differences, mostly to do with Gene's character versus Irene Dunne's original version. Irene is sweet and deep-feeling, but Gene seems incredibly insincere and impulsive.
Everything out of Ray's mouth is hilarious and witty, adding a refreshing comic element to the story. I happened to agree with his side of the argument about adoption, but unfortunately, Hollywood took Gene's side. She's made out to be a natural mother who can't resist the baby in question, but I didn't believe her for a second. As is the case with many couples who have a great relationship, once child-rearing enters into the mix, fights and incompatibilities float to the surface. Ray and Gene were happy at the start of the movie, but when she becomes obsessed with the idea of adopting this particular baby, it strains their marriage. This movie also tackles the nature vs. Nurture debate that has stumped experts through the ages. If you have a strong opinion one way or the other, you might not like the message of the film. And while it's not as good as the original version, if you like the cast, you might want to give it a shot.
