Movie Reviews of The Awful Truth
Movie Review: A Cary Grant Must Have
Summary: 5 Stars
One of Cary Grant's funniest comedies and one of the lesser known (I don't know why?). Other comedies, "Bringing Up Baby", "The Philadelphia Story" and "His Girl Friday" get a lot more attention. This is one of 3 times he appeared opposite Irene Dunne (which he said was his favorite co-star, who is very underappreciated). She played in dramas, comedies, muscicals (singing opera in the first sound version of "Show Boat", westerns, etc. She received The Kennedy Center Lifetime Achievement Award in 1985.Movie Review: The Awful Truth
Summary: 5 Stars
The Awful Truth has got to be one of the funniest movies ever made. The main stars in this 1937 hit comedy are Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, two actors who never got the recognition that they deserved in the Hollywood awards department. I have watched this movie at least 75 times and laugh until I cry everytime. The casting in this movie is perfect, the timing is perfect, the style and the class. This is a "must see" for all ages. I wish they still made movies like this one.Movie Review: "There's nothing less logical than the truth..."
Summary: 5 Stars
A hilarious farce starring Grant as the husband and Dunne as his spouse in the process of divorce. But when Dunne gets a new cotton pickin' bo from Oklahoma,hilariously played by Ralph Bellamy, Jerry(Grant) decides he wants Lucy(Dunne)back, and gets revenge by getting engaged to an aristocratic Molly Lamont. Each of them trying desperately to destroy the other's plans for marriage, they finally call a truce and(inevitably)kiss and make up.Movie Review: An almost perfect movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Cary Grant is the epitome of what a movie star should be and this movie and his pairing with the charming Irene Dunne (they also play together in the equally charming "My Favorite Wife"!) is smart, fast, and laugh out loud funny. Amazing at how current the humor remains. Poor Ralph Bellamy never has a chance, but he's gives it a good try! Cary Grant is absolutely gorgeous in this movie!Movie Review: Gone with the wind, literally
Summary: 5 Stars
My favorite scene is in the nightclub, when the singer does the "Gone with the wind!" number. I laugh every time. Also, when Grant bribes the orchestra leader to play Benny Goodman's "Swingtime in the Rockies" over and over while Ralph Belamy dances all over poor Irene Dunne's feet. This is a very funny movie... even by today's standards, without the fart, belch, and sex jokes, of course.
