The Awful Truth

Director Leo McCarey
Genres Comedy
Run time 87 mins Certificate U

8th November 2003

Though the plot is at best tenuous, this film gets five stars from me because of the wonderful, mostly ad-libbed, dialogue between Grant, his (ex) wife and her new boyfriend.

If you are already a Cary Grant fan, watch this to reinforce your opinion that Cary Grant's charm, wit and perfect timing can not be matched. If you are not a fan yet, start with a different Grant film, perhaps Charade or His Girl Friday, or my personal favorite (somewhat contraversially!) Arsenic and Old Lace.
