The Awful Truth
Danger! Wild woman on the loose!
Directed by Leo McCarey
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A screwball romantic comedy built on mischievous sabotage and misunderstanding, where a divorcing couple's competitive interference in each other's love lives becomes the engine of their own rekindled affection.
Unfounded suspicions lead a married couple to begin divorce proceedings, whereupon they start undermining each other's attempts to find new romance.
