THE AWFUL TRUTH (1937)

Another classic screwball comedy from the 1930's. Jerry and Lucy Warriner are about to finalize a divorce which includes a custody case over the rights to their dog! But before matters are set in stone each decides to ruin all prospects for the other's chances of remarriage. Though Jerry is intent on remarrying to socialite Molly Lamont, and Lucy to oil-mogul Daniel Lesson, each tries to outdo and undo the other which results in hilarious and rather compromising scenarios.

The cast includes: Cary Grant, Irene Dunne, Ralph Bellamy, Alexander D'Arcy, Cecil Cunningham, Molly Lamont, and Joyce Compton.

Written by Viña Delmar.

THE AWFUL TRUTH was nominated for the 1937 Best Picture award.

Directed by Leo McCarey.
