Every day this week I'm posting a Whit Stillman review; he's touring the UK this week with 35mm prints of his films thanks to Lost Reels. Today, I'm looking at 1994's delightful Barcelona, and nostalgic for a time when America was a respected country abroad. 5/5 film-authority.com/2025/07/22/b...

What a joy to see once again The Awful Truth by Leo McCarey, a 1937 screwball comedy starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. There is nothing - bar a @whitstillman.bsky.social movie - to touch the elegance, wit and charm of such a gem of American cinema.
Leo McCarey's glorious trifecta: Duck Soup (1933), The Awful Truth (1937), Love Affair (1939).
