Cinema 100 - DOUBLE FEATURE: "Make Way for Tomorrow" & "The Awful Truth"

1937 Ep 2 (16) "Make Way for Tomorrow" Directed by: Leo McCarey Release Date: April 30, 1937"The Awful Truth"Directed By: Leo McCareyRelease Date: October 21st, 1937Our latest double feature captures two sides of love, marriage, and the fear of growing old in 1937 Hollywood. On one side, Leo McCarey’s deeply human Make Way for Tomorrow — a quiet, heartbreaking story about an elderly couple forced apart by circumstance, a film so emotionally honest that many consider it one of the saddest movies ever made. And then, on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, there’s The Awful Truth — a sparkling screwball comedy filled with wit, jealousy, divorce, and the electric chemistry of Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. Together, these films show how the same director could make audiences cry in one breath and laugh in the next — proving that love can be both devastating and absolutely ridiculous.
