I really love his work with Irene Dunne. These two were incredible together. Great post. I hope you'll stop by my blog when you get the chance. Thanks.

The plot does remind me of Red-Headed Woman, one of my favorites. As you said, Girl From Missouri sounds like a cleaned-up version. Pre-code movies are favorites of mine. I also like Barbara Stanwyck's Baby Face, a real scorcher for the period. It was very interesting to watch the original version vs. the version actually released. Thanks for the idea for a Harlow movie I haven't seen.<br /><br />ClassicBeckyClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-55483344773256029232009-06-28T18:39:09.766-04:002009-06-28T18:39:09.766-04:00I love this movie!

"The Awful Truth" i...Great post, Rupert. "The Awful Truth" is one of my all time favorite movies. I've watched it too many times to count and still laugh out loud at Dunne's Lola. <br /><br />Dunne was a very gifted actress whose work is just now being re-examined in a favorable light. James Agee, a critic from days past, was overly harsh and unfair in his assessment of Ms Dunne's talents, and it has taken years, literally, for his judgment to be reconsidered and overturned. <br /><br />In the rarely seen "The Mudlark" Dunne portrays Queen Victoria. She is uncanny in this role. Her dramatic performances are equal to her comedic ones. You are so right. Irene Dunne has been under-rated and under-appreciated through the years, but that is finally changing and rightfully so. Cary Grant said that he loved working with her, and it shows.CagneyFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528836819712630455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-14180021666660409612009-06-27T09:52:44.341-04:002009-06-27T09:52:44.341-04:00They make a fine pairing, but pale in comparison t...They make a fine pairing, but pale in comparison to the Hepburn/Grant trilogy of screwball films, and I also much prefer Jean Arthur with Grant as well as Rosalind Russell in the amazing His Girl Friday. Irene is much better in Dramas than comedy for the most part and doesn't crackle like the other three actresses, and the dialogue isn't as well written. And check out Grant in Mr Blandings Builds his Dream House too for a lot of fun, as well as Topper...Davidhttp://www.dpriol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-43366101504655087592009-06-27T07:20:18.775-04:002009-06-27T07:20:18.775-04:00You're right Anonymous.

The nightclub scene IS hilarious but later when it's "recreated" (I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it by revealing how) is even better. Cary is of course wonderful in this, a perfect combo of suave & put upon. Even though their pairings come later I think his chemistry with Myrna Loy is spot on too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-24880386902882981372009-06-26T22:16:25.139-04:002009-06-26T22:16:25.139-04:00I love this movie even more then My favorite Wife....I love this movie even more then My favorite Wife. Irene and Cary is wonderful in this movie together. I can't believe I am saying this but yes I like this teaming more then Kate and Cary even though I love they're teaming and I love Kate as an actress. She is one of my faves. I am exclusing Philadelphia Story though, still love that movie more then this one. Bringing up baby and Holiday is more screwball comedy though like this one and I enjoy this one better. I am right with you Rupert. The hat scene is a lol moment and I love them wanting a divorce but sure are jealous who they are out with. lol.Great review as always!!ClassicJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084603957211826254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-34977189387966300472009-06-26T22:11:42.839-04:002009-06-26T22:11:42.839-04:00i've come to love katharine hepburn (finally) ...i've come to love katharine hepburn (finally) but cary/irene is my favorite of the cary pairings, rivaled only by cary/ingrid. i'm a huge fan of both and together they were just perfect.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156051197099180915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-67029891040928459482009-06-26T21:47:22.368-04:002009-06-26T21:47:22.368-04:00Another Gem!Another Gem!Shannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-26684459932233246392009-06-26T21:06:18.259-04:002009-06-26T21:06:18.259-04:00Dunne added a deeply feminine touch that Hepburn n...Dunne added a deeply feminine touch that Hepburn never had.<br />Attilio F.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
