This is the beginning of the film “Pennies from Heaven” with Steve Martin, which is only the second movie this year we have watched together on our TV. “Pennies from Heaven” is a musical that is a difficult film to fathom since it was made knowing how uncomfortable Americans are with this genre. Generally, we want our actors to play the same stereotyped roles we have become accustomed to seeing them in. Steve Martin is a lonely salesman on the road looking for love while breaking into musical numbers taken from old black-and-white films. This movie was a surefire bet for failure.
