Serenade represented the return to the screen of international favorite Lillian Harvey after an absence of two years. Based loosely on the life of composer Franz Schubert, the film casts Bernard Lancret as Schubert, Harvey as his dancer sweetheart, and Louis Jouvet as a possessive Baron who has his own designs on our heroine. Ultimately, the Baron gracefully bows out of the girl's life, allowing her to serve as the inspiration for Schubert's classic compositions "Serenade" and "Rosalinde".
A Vienne, en 1825, le préfet de police admire la grande danseuse Margaret Brenton. Il y a, à Vienne, un petit compositeur, organiste à Saint-Etienne, Franz Schubert. A un bal masqué, Schubert rencontre Margaret et un amour naît entre eux deux. Il compose pour elle seule une « Sérénade », croyant que c'est une femme de condition modeste. A une fêle officielle, il la découvre parée de diamants. Il fuit comme un fou, désespéré, mais Margaret le suit et va partager sa vie.

Schubert's Serenade (1940)
The blissfully romantic notion that all great musical composers have been inspired to their finest works by the fervid—but unusually hopeless—love of a beautiful woman is again receiving pleasing circulation in "Schubert's Serenade," a new French film fiction based rather freely upon the life of Franz Schubert, which arrived at the Fifty-fifth Street Playhouse yesterday. It is a notion which generally requires considerable fabrication for support, and the ease with which it endows composition with spontaneity is always amazing. But it also, as in the present case, permits an appropriate framework into which may be properly fitted the music of the composer. And when that is nicely done, no serious exception may be taken.

![Schubert's Serenade (1940)]()
In this instance, Schubert ascends - or descends, if you choose to be literal - from his Viennese garret to the heights of youthful success because of the passionate devotion of an English dancer whom he happens to meet. But the lady also happens to be the particular fancy of the powerful chief of police, so in order, presumably, to avoid unpleasant complications the lovers renounce one another, heart-broken but emotionally matured. Meanwhile, however, Schubert has composed his famous "Serenade" in a moment of divine ecstacy; he has turned out, apparently as an individual number to be danced by his sweetheart, the "Rosamonde" ballet, and has unburdened his musical soul of several other scores.
