Penny Serenade (1941)

As Julie packs in preparation for hers and Roger's divorce, the song Penny Serenade takes her back to her first meeting with Roger, their marriage and the tragic stillbirth of their son. After Julie was left infertile, they adopted an infant daughter, who died just a few years later. Roger, wracked by guilt and loathing, could see no future for their marriage but redemption for both awaits. The script somehow manages to combine cracking screwball comedy lines with scenes of intense emotion, and the moment when Grant breaks down is one of cinema's most moving.
