The Awful Truth (1937)Directed by Leo McCarey, not rated, 91 minutes
The Awful Truth is a raucously funny and quick screwball comedy about a couple that breaks up over suspicions of infidelity, who subsequently undermine each other attempts at romance. Carey Grant is preposterously clever and insanely hilarious in a classic Grant role, and has wonderful chemistry with Irene Dunne, who holds her one with Grant. The film effortlessly sets up some truly funny situations, and the lightning fast dialogue will blow you away.
Screwball comedies don't get much better than The Awful Truth, with its brilliant, bickering dialogue, lovably bitter characters and a surprisingly ambiguous ending. You'll like it if: You like screwball comedies, classic comedies, Carey Grant, His Girl Friday, Arsenic and Old Lace or The Philadelphia Story.
