Article: “That loving feeling”: Seven movies in which a character tries to win someone’s heart with a public serenade.
While the public serenading of someone’s object of desire is not a gesture you tend to see all that often in the real world, at least outside of karaoke parlors, it is a reliable cinematic stand-by. This is probably because it’s a gesture so fraught with the potential for embarrassment and humiliation that it’s safer…
