Unfounded suspicions lead a married couple to begin divorce proceedings, whereupon they start undermining each other’s attempts to find new romance.
One of the great screwball comedies of the 1930s, The Awful Truth stars Cary Grant and Irene Dunne as a divorcing couple who can’t quite stay out of each other’s lives. Elegant, witty, and endlessly charming, the film crackles with verbal sparring and comic invention – and cemented Grant and Dunne as a perfectly matched on-screen duo. -TORONTO FILM SOCIETY
