My favourite film of the 1930's...The Awful Truth.


The Awful Truth, was released in 1937, and directed by Leo McCarey.

Its a classic screwball comedy that sees Cary Grant becoming the complete package as a screen actor.


Playing opposite Irene Dunne, who is so funny, in the
role of his estranged wife.


They play the roles of Jerry and Lucy Warriner, a Manhattan society couple who are bent on divorce.
In the 90 days it takes for the divorce to become final, they embark on a new relationship and at the same time do whatever it takes to sabotage the other's budding romance.



Great performance too, by Ralph Bellamy, who gets caught up in all the chaos. So good, he received an Oscar nomination!
