		"The Awful Truth" provides a consistently witty script, memorable scenes and lines, smooth comedy direction, and established Cary Grant in a genre which he made his own, and typecast Ralph Bellamy for years (his "type" was hysterically sent-up in "His Girl Friday").
		Typical of the vintage comedies of the thirties, the laughs are neither telegraphed nor forced; pleasantly rewarding for the audience who like their comedy to connect with their funny bone via their brain, and not their glands.
		When the AFI did its "50 Greatest Stars" a few weeks ago and Irene Dunne was NOT among the 25 women...well, there was shouting at our house The Awful Truth is a perfect example of her wit and graciousness all at the same time.

	DVD Savant Review: The Awful Truth
		The Awful Truth does have a bias in favor of New York upperclass sophisticated types; nobody seems to work too hard or live in anything less than a fancy apartment, although the Warriners' source of income, a mine, seems to have dried up.
		I think that the reason Dunne is far less known today than she should be is that so many of her films were remade and her original versions were withdrawn from circulation (television and theater) as was the studio practice at the time.
		Cimarron, Back Street, Love Affair, Magnificent Obsession, Show Boat, The Awful Truth, Roberta, My Favorite Wife, Anna and the King of Siam were all remade in the 50s and 60s and thus were not shown on television or rereleased to theaters.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Awful Truth: The Complete Series
		Still, Moore creates a populist persona: the schlep, the outsider who will cheerfully grab a beer from your fridge as he whispers in your ear the latest gossip about the boss flying to Antigua with a cheerleader who is not his wife.
		This character is at the center of Moore's television series The Awful Truth, which aired for two seasons on cable's Bravo network.
		In the show's second season, Moore jettisons the studio audience and turns The Awful Truth into a clone of TV Nation, shooting bridging segments in Times Square and employing correspondents to pick up half the stories.

	The Awful Truth (1937): Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Ralph Bellamy - PopMatters Film Review
		Leo McCarey's The Awful Truth zips by at such a frenetic clip that the limpid beauty of its ending almost seems out of place.
		Like all great screwball comedies, The Awful Truth works splendidly because the sparkling repartee and goofy games-playing is firmly rooted in something serious: longing makes these people go gaga.
		The Awful Truth's DVD release, along with a recent retrospective of McCarey's work at Lincoln Center in New York, hopefully portends a correction of that omission.

		In The Awful Truth, his finely tuned comic timing — and ability to work with actors who had a knack for improvisation — earned him an Academy Award for Best Director, and that for a film that's basically a broad series of setups and payoffs.
		Their sharp interaction in this movie was recaptured in Howard Hawks' 1940 His Girl Friday, and portions of the dialogue were even taken up for that later film (it would seem audiences couldn't get enough of these two).
		It's Bellamy who actually gives The Awful Truth its funniest moments with his goofy, off-the-wall earnestness, and it's a shame he's hustled off the screen before the movie's over.

		Rarely have the background stories of the films been told in such detail, and the effect is to let us see with a clear but sympathetic eye how trial and error, blind spots and epiphanies, accidents and deliberate choices went into the fashioning of Cary Grant.
		The one film he disliked -- ironically, the comedy that launched him as a romantic farceur -- was "The Awful Truth," because he hated McCarey's improvisational style.
		The story of a philandering husband and his wife, their divorce (with shared custody of the dog), their wickedly funny shenanigans with suitors and showgirls was just the jumping-off point for a love story that miraculously combined antic humor and urban sophistication.

	The Awful Truth Review - The Ultimate Cary Grant Pages
		Columbia's 'Happened One Night' started it, and while 'Awful Truth' won't be the mop-up 'Night' was, it will be a tidy little profit-taker, for the company as well as the playing-time.
		Interesting, too, is that Irene Dunne, in the comedy lead, was first brought out as a celluloid comedienne by Columbia in 'Theodora Goes Wild.' She tops that performance by almost an Alp in 'Awful Truth,' and Cary Grant, opposite, is flagged in on his best fast light-comedy performance to date.
		Grant as the couple who get undivorced, and Ralph Bellamy as the rich respectable suitor from Oklahoma have fun with their roles, and the pleasure seems to be shared, on the whole, by the Music Hall audience.
