Serenade or Schubert's Serenade (French: Sérénade) is a 1940 French historical film directed by Jean Boyer and starring Lilian Harvey, Louis Jouvet and Bernard Lancret. It portrays a fictional romance between the Austrian composer Franz Schubert and an English dancer. The film was the first of two the Anglo-German actress Lillian Harvey made in France, after leaving Nazi Germany.^[1]

Somewhat freewheeling romantic story of a British dancer in love with Schubert, who is jealous of the rival composer Beethoven, but is inspired by his love to write several of his greatest works.
