The Awful Truth

SPECIAL SUNDAY MATINEE FILM TALK

Part of our Screwball Comedy Series with Fred Fuchs

Emerging in the 1930s, Screwball Comedies were a wild new strain of fast-talking farces involving battles of the sexes and a world forever on the brink of chaos.  We’ve curated five hilarious films that exemplify the genre.

We’ll delve into what makes a great Screwball Comedy, the production, artists, and story of each film.

Fred Fuchs

A successful Hollywood film producer for years, Fred is the founder and Chair of the Board of the Westdale Cinema Group.

Watch the movie and stay for a talk and Q&A with Hollywood Producer Fred Fuchs.

Romantic Comedy

Starring Irene Dunne, & Cary Grant

Jerry (Cary Grant) and Lucy (Irene Dunne) are a married couple who doubt each other’s fidelity: Jerry suspects Lucy and her music teacher (Alexander D’Arcy) of spending an evening together, and Lucy is convinced Jerry lied about a business trip. When the jealous pair file for divorce, both rush into new relationships, but quickly realize their love never died. The soon-to-be-divorced husband and wife then both scramble to spoil each other’s chances for newfound romance.
