Pennies from Heaven (DVD)
Musical DVD - Perhaps more widely known Stateside as a 1981 film starring Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters, Dennis Potter's bittersweet yarn set during the Great Depression was best staged as this eight-hour miniseries broadcast by the BBC in 1978. It made a star of Bob Hoskins, perfectly cast as Arthur Parker, an unsuccessful sheet-music salesman who blots out his dreary life with imaginative daydreams that take the form of lavish production numbers using the lyrics of his favorite songs. Arthur isn't happy at home -- his marriage to Joan (Gemma Craven) is a union in name only -- so he's ripe for an affair. His subsequent liaison with shy schoolteacher Eileen Everson (Cheryl Campbell) therefore assumes prominence in his musical musings. Veteran TV director Piers Haggard didn't have the financial resources available to Herbert Ross, the director of the Hollywood film adaptation, but he managed to replicate the drab Depression era with astonishing success; there's a doom-laden mood to the story's "real" port

Although made at Columbia, Pennies From Heaven comes across as a typical Bing Crosby-Paramount collaboration: Crosby as an easygoing wanderer who pretty much takes things as they come until something important causes him to take a little action. As in most of these vehicles, the plot is just an excuse for Crosby to display his amiable personality and croon his way through some numbers. Fortunately, he is an engaging enough personality to make this formula work, and Pennies has enough other points...

Dennis Potter's offbeat tale comes to life in this inventive film adaptation. PENNIES FROM HEAVEN is a warm and joltingly bizarre musical fantasy about a drifter who sells sheet music (Steve Martin) and the naive schoolteacher (Bernadette Peters) he seduces. In depression-era Chicago, the lovers sing and dance their way through the bleak city streets. Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters give stunning musical performances.
