Not only was it set exactly during the time my parents were that age, but James Garner was my mother's absolute FAVORITE actor, and their song in the movie -- "I'll Be Seeing You" -- was the one she'd asked to have played at her memorial service. I bawled like a baby during that movie. Still do.

Originally Posted By gardenrooms I cry at many movies - always have my Kleenex (at least I'm quiet - when I saw "Gone With the Wind" in college with 8 friends, I made my sister sit at the opposite ends - she's s loud sobber).

I agree with so many of the movies on everyone else's lists. Did anyone mention "Edward Scissorhands"? But the 2 movies I saw that were the most heartbreaking movies I have ever seen were "Testament", with Jane Alexander, as a parent knowing what her children would never be able to experience. My brother-in-law had brought over the video then everyone fell asleep before we watched it. Well, I stayed up and sobbed through the entire thing. In a way I'm glad I saw it along so I didn't have to hold back. And the other was "Flight 93", knowing it was not just a movie.

The music she plays on the record player sets the scene for each moment in their lives leading up to her leaving him. One moment: They adopted a child. Another moment: child is given a small behind-the-scenes part in a Christmas play and it requires her to wear white sneakers, of which the child was so proud, even though she's not ever on stage. Another moment, later that year: the child dies of disease. The next Christmas, a car pulls in front of thier house as the car breaks down. A mom has a little girl with her and they are late for the Christmas play. Cary Grant and Irene Dunn offer to drive the mom and daughter to the school play, and as the child gets out, we see that she has on white sneakers! Oh, I just cry and cry at this scene!! Go rent the movie to see how it ends!!!! It's a tear-jerker!!!!!!!

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb I had Penny Serenade on VHS at one point (I may still) it was part of a Cary Grant collection. I so agree with you, both for the movie and the actor. He's probably my all time favorite (or so close it doesn't matter). Those looks, that voice, the suave humor, 'nuf said.

Sad for the precious otter, sad for the man who lost him and sad for the poor man who had no idea he was killing someone's pet. *Sigh*)
