Tearjerker on today - Penny Serenade
Darn ... missed it. Big Cary Grant fan. However, consider the film's theme: A woman on the verge of divorce recalls her heartbreaking attempts to adopt a child. The film is from 1941, a period of transition from the divorce films of the 30's and the unwanted children of the 50's. It fits the pattern in my comment above.
You need a heavy dose of "A Christmas Story"! Both TBS and TNT have scheduled it for a 24 hour loop, beginning tomorrow night. This is a traditional Christmas - family, kids and oozing with nostalgia.
Brings back happy memories from simpler times.
