April 24, 1941 –
George Stevens’ tearjerker classic, Penny Serenade, starring Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Beulah Bondi, and Edgar Buchanan, opened in the US on this date.
In a flagrant disregard of the then Production Code, it would appear that Irene Dunne and Cary Grant share a marital bed instead of separate ones. Also, there’s an implication that the two have sex on a train, something unheard of in the morally hidebound 1940s.
