The Awful Truth (1937)
They argue, and they divorce, but there’s a 90-day grace period. And of course, there’s Mr. Smith, the dog — Jerry uses him as a pretext to visit Lucy. During that time, each does his and her best to split their rebound romances through all sorts of wacky shenanigans. It’s a pleasure to watch them dog it out, each motivated by the love they still bear for the other. There’s a wonderful conclusion to the film, driven home eloquently by the director’s use of a grandfather clock and his/her figurines, animated by Cary and Irene. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

They were a fantastic pairing in The Awful Truth (1937), and they put on a similar bedroom routine at the end of this movie, except this one’s absolutely hilarious.

I can’t help it, the acting’s so good, the screenplay’s amazing, the filming is fantastic, and the direction is just what the story needs! If ever this movie gets remade properly, I’d love to be in it. Seriously. [...]
