Critic Reviews of "The Awful Truth"
Chicago ReaderMay 27, 2008Leo McCarey's largely improvised 1937 film is one of the funniest of the screwball comedies, and also one of the most serious at heart.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Zappy, sophisticated screwball comedy with Grant and Dunne displaying perfect timing.
New York TimesMay 21, 2003To be frank, The Awful Truth is awfully unimportant, but it is also one of the more laughable screen comedies of 1937, a fairly good vintage year.
Reel Film ReviewsApril 10, 2007...has earned its reputation as one of the most effective screwball comedies from the 1930s.
EmanuelLevy.ComNovember 09, 2006One of the best screwball comedies (of remarriage) ever made, based on the astute mise-en-scene of director Leo McCarey (who won an Oscar) and superb turns from Cary Grant and Irene Dunne as the sparrying partners.
Film-Forward.comFebruary 17, 2006The look of love [Grant] gives co-star Irene Dunne, captured not in a close-up but a medium-wide shot, could melt anyone.
Decent Films GuideFebruary 10, 2006One should be rooting for Cary Grant to get the girl, which means he ought to deserve her — and if that's more or less the case here, well, it's only because the girl turns out to be no great shakes either.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsJanuary 07, 2006A smart screwball comedy from the 1930s that's given the Lubitsch touch by director Leo McCarey.
Combustible CelluloidDecember 06, 2005Its sophistication convinced the Academy that it was more than "just" a comedy and they awarded McCarey the Best Director Oscar
Nick's Flick PicksAugust 16, 2003Episodic but sublime screwball comedy, with Grant and Dunne at their most alluring.
PopMattersApril 04, 2003As pleasurable as anything a Hollywood studio and the star system ever produced.
