Penny Serenade (1941)

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jan 30, 2017

Irene Dunne still remains one of the most underrated actresses of the 20th century. She was both a lively comedienne, an impressive singer, and performed in melodrama better than most. Pair her with Cary Grant and director George Stevens and you have an impressive bulwark to build a film out of. I read more

The Silent Life in 1920: Serenade your lover with a five grand instrument

Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Mar 12, 2014

Nowadays, you can’t touch a Gibson instrument for less than, oh, a down payment on a nice car. I certainly hope that the folks who saw this ad and purchased a mandolin kept the instruments in good repair. I like this ad for several reasons. First, serenading is often seen as an exclusively ma read more

Movies Silently Posted by Movies, Silently on Aug 23, 2013

Rudolph Valentino’s early death at the height of his career was a tragedy. It also opened up a floodgate of what-if’s. Would he have survived the transition to sound? Would his career have fizzled even before that? Me? I think he would have survived. Mr. Valentino had a talent for ligh read more

Monday Serenade: Eddie Cantor in Whoopee! (1930)

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jun 14, 2010

I was so accustomed to the Nina Simone version of My Baby Just Cares for Me, that it stunned me when I first saw Eddie Cantor singing the tune in Whoopee! (1930). Cantor's performance has a lot of zing, and it's so charming. I definitely have room for both versions in my affections. read more
