Mr. Smith goes to divorce court
Review by nora ★★★½ 3

divorce me cary grant 😩😩😩😩
Review by eely 🌻 ★★★½

cary grant would have been 116 years old today. 116 years of improperly sitting on couches, elegantly falling out of chairs, and lying in bed in a pose which i like to call the “sleepy but intrigued swan.” how sad that we only got 82 years of that magic.
Review by Lindsay Zoladz

All-time cinematic performance by a dog here
Review by theo ★★★½ 1

a whole movie about how it’s impossible not to love cary grant
Review by Filipe Furtado ★★★★½

First, there's not more than a dozen things in the history of American movies sexier than Cary Grant making sure a door can stay put so he can jump in bed with his wife. I know I love cats, because while Asta gives this movie third best performance, no small feat, I can't stop laughing at the efforts of that cat to make sure Grant doesn't open the door. The Awful Truth really is the perfect remarriage movie because it was directed by good horny catholic McCarey who believes in the sanctity of monogamy as much as he believes in Grant and Dunne sexual attraction. Plus, McCarey laboratory of acting does offer Grant, Dunne and the whole wonderful supporting cast so much room to work around, every small bit, a different revelation.
