Answer
Hi Micah,

I'm pretty sure the movie you're looking for is Columbia Pictures 1941  "tearjerker" "PENNY SERENADE", starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne.

You can go to:    http://www.tcm.com:80/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=5818    and click on: "Read the full synopsis" for the complete storyline.

Also, the film is available on DVD at many different prices, at www.amazon.com
