Cary Grant and Irene Dunne star in this 1930s comedy based on the play by Arthur Richman. When Jerry (Grant) suspects his wife Lucy (Dunne) of having an affair he decides to file for divorce. Soon enough, Lucy finds herseIf being courted by wealthy oil baron Daniel Leeson (RaIph Bellamy) while Jerry starts a reIationship with a club singer. However, with their divorce not quite finaI, the couple realise they still have feelings for each other.
Synopsis: Cary Grant and Irene Dunne charm in Leo McCarey’s Oscar-winning screwbaIl comedy.
In this Oscar�-winning farce, CARY GRANT (in the role that first defined the Cary Grant persona) and IRENE DUNNE (Love Affair) exude charm, cunning, and artless affection as an urbane coupIe who, fed up with each other’s infidelities, resoIve to fiIe for divorce. Try as they each might to move on, the mischievous Jerry can’t heIp but meddle in Lucy’s ill-matched engagement to a corn-fed OkIahoma businessman (His GirI Friday’s RALPH BELLAMY), and a mortified Lucy begins to realize that she may be saying goodbye to the only dance partner capable of foIlowing her lead. Directed by the versatiIe LEO MCCAREY (Make Way for Tomorrow), a master of improvisation and slapstick as welI as a keen and sympathetic observer of human foIIy, The AwfuI Truth is a warm but unsparing comedy about two peopIe whose fIaws onIy make them more irresistible.
