A comic battlefield presided over by two superbly-matched sparring partners, THE AWFUL TRUTH also stars Cary Grant as the other half of a couple facing divorce- and fighting over custody of their beloved dog, Mr. Smith. Somewhere before the final divorce decree, however, Jerry decides he wants Lucy back, only to learn that she`s marrying a county bumpkin (hilariously played by Ralph Bellamy). Jerry counters with an engagment to the aristocratic Molly Lamont, sparking a sexy, sophisticated battle of wits that ranks among the wackiest comedies in screen history. Notes: This film belongs to the Film and Media Studies Department. Director: Leo McCarey. Black and white. Country: U.S. Subject: divorce, love, comedy. Subtitled.
