50 Favorite OTPs: Jerry Wariner/Lucy Wariner - The Awful Truth Lucy: I’m still in love with that crazy idiot and there is nothing I can do about it. Jerry and Lucy aren’t particularly nice people. They scheme, sabotage and completely dismantle each other in public and in private, but that is beside the point. If love is a game, these people are each other’s greatest opponents and they should never play with anyone else. No one will ever get Jerry quite like Lucy does and no one will get Lucy the way Jerry does and because of this…THEY DRIVE EACH OTHER INSANE. Over the years, the more I watch this movie and I watch it least three times a year, I realize that these two people can’t stay away from each other because they are not really alive unless they are with each other. The way they spark off each other and the way they let each other be completely insane is why they work and why they can’t really be with anyone else. If love is a form of insanity, these two have the exact same mental illness. And, yes, this is completely romantic. I think.

Lucy Warriner / Mia: As we go down life’s highway, you go your way …. and I go mine.
— The Awful Truth (1937) // Love and Other Catastrophes (1996)

One of the reasons I love the 1996 Australian film Love and Other Catastrophes so much (besides the fact that it is the only film I know of about students majoring in Cinema Studies … not FILM PRODUCTION, but CINEMA STUDIES.. and there is a difference.. and if you’ve studied Cinema Studies, watch this movie) is that Mia and Dani’s entire relationship in the film is one big, homage to Lucy and Jerry’s relationship in The Awful Truth. And it works .. beautifully.

The Awful Truth (1937)

One of my favorite scenes in film history. I love that this is the moment she realizes she still loves Jerry … after he has made a complete fool of himself and completely embarrassed her. She still loves him and there is no one else in the world for her.

runnerbird: Favorite Scene: The Awful Truth Perhaps, my favorite scene in all of classic Hollywood is this one from the 1937 film The Awful Truth. Cary Grant and Irene Dunne play a couple divorcing each other because each suspects the other of having an affair. In this scene, Grant goes to the home of Dunne’s vocal coach, thinking he will capture the two in the act, but instead, he stumbles on her vocal recital. He takes a seat in the back and promptly falls on his face. His almost ex-wife lets out a giggle as she hits a high note. This is the moment when she realizes she is still in love with him and there is nothing she can do about it. I don’t know why I think that’s so romantic, but realizing you are in love with someone after they’ve made a total idiot of themselves is … kind of romantic.
