Movies starring Ann Doran

Penny Serenade (1941)

119 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

I generally like movies which star either Cary Grant or Irene Dunne but for some reason "Penny Serenade" has never done very much for me. I put it down to the curious mixture of story and tone because on one hand we have quit...
