The first gal with whom Cary Grant interacts in that "Penny Serenade" scene = the "High Fidelity" clerk of that era.

I wouldn't really recommend watching PENNY SERENADE (1941) but the record store scene is kind of amazing: was that what record shops were like in 1941?
I think so, because there's confirmation in The Miracle of Morgan's Creek (1943), where in an early scene Betty Hutton is a clerk at a record store which looks a lot like the one in Penny Serenade - sheet music gets a lot of display space, and they sell musical instruments on the side. The clerk plays the records for you.

looks like Blackmarket Records...
and the Penny Serenade shop looks more like a music shop that sells records rather than a record shop, much the same way Rumbelows used to sell records.
― koogs, Thursday, 27 February 2020 08:17 (four years ago) link
It was more the super-refined atmos and quality decor (plus basically no promo past the statue of Nipper) that I was surprised by, not sure why, and I don't recall Rumbelows being quite like that.
Layout-wise this one wouldn't be so different

There's another scene involving buying records in Episode 10, "Hammer Into Anvil".
i suspect but cannot prove that this may be a parody of a very similar scene in the first episode of bruce geller's "mission: impossible" (when adam schiff was still the MI team lead).
hammer into anvil is one of my favorite episodes; there's something very comforting to me about seeing mcgoohan spend an hour straight gaslighting an abusive bully.

god, is that an oktavist she's lip-syncing to? anyway if i was running a music store in 1943 i wouldn't be pushing records too hard myself, what with the recording ban and all! (that's still a little amazing to me, that unions had enough clout to institute a ban on RECORDING ALL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS for several years straight.)
when did musical instrument stores and record stores become separate entities?
― Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 27 February 2020 14:39 (four years ago) link
XP - Hammer Into Anvil is the best, such a great episode, for years now I will quote 'it takes a Frenchman' at the drop of a hat.

In He's All That – the recent (and not recommended) "gender switch" remake of She's All That – the "outcast" dude who gets a makeover is said to be into "punk music" (or something). In his first scene, he's wearing a NY Dolls T-shirt... later you see him in a Stooges "The Weirdness" tee... and finally he shows up in a GG Allin tee. It's like – OK, we get it.

I’m watching American Gigolo, it’s pretty boring so far… but at the end of a scene where Richard Gere gets dressed while singing along to The Miracles’ “The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage,” he turns off the stereo and there’s a nice shot of a Grace Jones album and some other records I can’t identify:https://i.imgur.com/L43gdHw_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium
