Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Leo McCarey's largely improvised 1937 film is one of the funniest of the screwball comedies, and also one of the most serious at heart.

Zappy, sophisticated screwball comedy with Grant and Dunne displaying perfect timing.

fresh:
To 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.
