Review of The Awful Truth (1937) by David L — 21 Oct 2013
The mix of expectedly playful, quick, sophisticated dialogue and many memorable, very amusing situations led to The Awful Truth being such a comedy classic that it is and one of the funniest and most charming films from the 30s.
The direction from Leo McCarey deservedly received an Oscar whereas Irene Dunne and Cary Grant gave two of their finest performances and created one of cinema's best, most amusing couples. It's a hilarious, perfectly executed film that is undoubtedly one of the essential screwball comedies.
