Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant month (Post 7 of 14)
The Awful Truth
This is the first of a series of popular Cary Grant screwball comedies made during the 30’s and 40’s. Irene Dunne plays Grant's wife/ex-wife/future wife. Poor ole second banana Ralph Bellamy is the Oklahoma suitor to Ms. Dunne who we know doesn’t stand a chance of landing her with Grant around.
There are four Grant comedies on the
1001 list (
The Awful Truth, Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday) and the question may come up whether or not that's too many. I wouldn't, but if you
make me leave one out, I might omit
The Awful Truth, though I don't really want to do that either.
