Synopsis
Danny O'Hara, un ancien artiste de music-hall, est déçu quand sa petite-fille Kitty ne veut pas poursuivre la tradition familiale car elle considère le monde du show business trop instable. Ils travaillent tous les deux au Greenway Drugstore à New York, le lieu de ralliement de l'auteur Johnny McCloud et de sa bande d'amis. Johnny a écrit une revue et Kitty, amoureuse de Johnny, conspire avec lui pour que le script soit présenté à Ralph Hodges, un producteur de Broadway. Hodges, passionné d'astrologie, n'est pas intéressé par le travail de Johnny mais sa secrétaire, Miss Simpson, promet de trouver une manière de lui reproposer le script. Plus tard, pendant que Kitty se prépare pour son premier rendez-vous avec Johnny, Danny convainc ce dernier de faire en sorte que le producteur de radio Harry Gage entende Kitty. Alors qu'elle chante une ballade romantique à Johnny, Kitty découvre Danny et Gage qui se cachent et disparaît avant que Gage ait pu lui offrir du travail. Ce même soir, Johnny et Danny présentent leurs excuses à Kitty et Johnny lui apprend qu'il doit partir à l'armée dans deux jours.Actors

Serenade tells the story of poor vineyard worker Damon Vincenti (Mario Lanza), who becomes an operatic tenor, and is involved with two women — one a high society hostess, the other a Mexican bullfighter's daughter, Juana Montes (Sara Montiel). Highly melodramatic, the film features a great deal of operatic music, all of it sung by Lanza. Of note are the Act III Monologue from Verdi's Otello and an extract from the duet "Dio Ti Giocondi" from the same opera featuring Metropolitan Opera soprano Licia Albanese. Reviewing the film in The New York Times, A.H. Weiler wrote that, "Mr. Lanza, who was never in better voice, makes this a full and sometimes impressive musical entertainment.
