Discuss The Awful Truth

I know this has been posted about in the past on one of TMDb's boards (no longer am able to recall which one), but as it's not yet been posted here, here it is. (Song performance begins at shortly after the 6:00 point.)

Irene definitely steals the show!

FYI: For anyone unfamiliar with this movie, Irene and Gary are a divorcing well-educated upper-class married couple. Gary's engaged to remarry; Irene gleefully tries to sabotage his imminent nuptials by pretending to be his uninhibited hick sister.

I hadn’t heard of this, but it looks like a gem! “I’ve seen your pictures in the paper and I wondered what you look like.” lol

The plot sounds like it could’ve been the inspiration for my namesake in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels 😉 🔱

I am boycotting YT at the moment. Is the scene you reference the 'Blowing with the Wind' song? If so, I did post a link in another thread a while back (although it wasn't on this board, can't remember which it was).

Yep, that's the scene (including the 6 mins. lead-up to the song). I know we had some conversation about it, some years back, on one of TMDb's boards. (I haven't done any looking around for it, but am thinking maybe it's on a Love Affair [another hit Dunne classic] thread?)

Indeed, here it is

Thanks gen, no wonder I couldn't remember when it was, it was SIX YEARS AGO! I'm lucky if I can remember what happened last week. 👵🏽👵🏽👵🏽

We were both brand new here way back then - our first couple of weeks on the TMDb boards!

Dang, it's even farther back than I remember. When I first looked at the link you left, I thought it said December? I think my brain is melting?

We eventually reach an age when everything old starts seeming new to us again. 🤓
