My Favorite Wife

As you can see, she is top-billed among the supporting actors.

And she was also in My Favorite Wife, which is, again, one of the greatest screwball comedies of all time.

It is amazingly good.

You have to see it.

Oh, man.

His Girl Friday, My Favorite Wife, The Philadelphia Story, P- Penny Serenade, Suspicion, The Talk of the Town, Destination Tokyo, Arsenic and Old Lace, None but the Lonely Heart, Notorious, The Bishop's Wife, The Bachelor and Bobby Soxer, and I Was a Male War Bride.

That was from 1940 to 1949 he did all those movies.

I mean, I, I had a movie-

They did, yeah.

You know, there's Penny Serenade, My Favorite Wife, uh, here in The Awful Truth.

I think My Favorite Wife was like, this was on contention when we did the rom-coms, but I think I went with My Favorite Wife.

Well, one of us did-

Yeah

... right, was My Favorite Wife-

Yeah, yeah

...

Well, this is going to be a really fun discussion because we're going to be talking about a lot of comedies.

And we'll start off with My Favorite Wife from 1940.

What can you tell us about this screwball comedy?

I love this movie.

Cary Grant and Irene Dunn re-teamed after having first been teamed in The Awful Truth at Columbia in 1937.

They also made Penny Serenade together for George Stevens at Columbia.

But I think of the films they made together, this is my favorite one, and my favorite one, my favorite wife.

So this is an RKO picture, and it was remade 23 years later as Move Over Darling with Doris Day and James Garner at 20th Century Fox.

It's pretty great to go through, but a couple of movies for everyone.

Philadelphia Story, Rebecca, The Grapes of Wrath, Pinocchio, the Disney one, Great Dictator, one of my favorite movies of all time, Shop Around the Corner, Fantasia, Foreign Correspondent, a Hitchcock movie, Feet to Baghdad, Waterloo Bridge, The Long Voyage Home, My Favorite Wife, Pride and Prejudice, Kitty Foyle, Ginger Rogers won the Oscar for that, The Letter, Arizona, Dance Girl Dance and All This and Heaven 2.

Any other movies or anything that you want to bring up about 1940? No, I

love the, uh, I love the Hitchcock.
