The Awful Truth (1937)

Classic screwball comedy from 1937 made by people who know a thing or two about the genre, including director Leo McCarey and star Cary Grant. The latter plays one-half of a divorcing couple that keeps messing up the other’s chance of starting a new relationship. Think they’ll mend their ways before the end of the movie? I’m not telling. Besides, it’s not about that. It’s about the jokes, which average about one every 40 seconds.
