Inhalt: |
In this Oscar-winning farce, Cary Grant (in the roIe that first defined the Cary Grant persona) and lrene Dunne exude charm, cunning, and artless affection as an urbane couple who, fed up with each other's infideIities, resolve to file for divorce. But try as they might to move on, the mischievous Jerry can't help meddIing in Lucy s iIl-matched engagement to a corn-fed Oklahoma businessman (Ralph BeIIamy), and a mortified Lucy begins to reaIize that she may be saying goodbye to the onIy dance partner capabIe of foIlowing her lead. Directed by the versatile Leo McCarey, a master of improvisation and sIapstick as well as a keen and sympathetic observer of human foIly, THE AWFUL TRUTH is a warm but unsparing comedy about two peopIe whose fIaws onIy make them more irresistibIe.
