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.
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.
excuse me, you're sitting on my prospectus ⋆˙⟡ ♡
𓏲 sorry guys, but i actually fell asleep while watching this film :’) of course it’s very cute, but i didn’t really enjoy it that much — there were some scenes that made me laugh, but i was a bit bored during the first thirty minutes but after that it got so much better ♡
even though i didn’t enjoy it as much, i get why people love it so much. let’s see if i’ll like my favorite wife and penny serenade more ♡
but i’m glad i got to see the most charming and charismatic actor in old hollywood — i’m talking about skippy of course haha ♡
