The Awful Truth: My Dreams Are Gone With The Wind

One of my favorite screwball comedies of the 30's, the story of Jerry and Lucy Warrimer has inspired and been re-imagined in many a movie and soap operas. 
The plot of the movie is such... Suspicions and assumptions lead the Warrimer's to begin divorce preceedings, and soon after they begin to undermine each other's attempt to find new romances. 
At this particular juncture of the film, Lucy pretends to be Jerry's sister, Lola, after she picks up the phone at his apartment and he hastly explains to his love interest, Barbara, that his sister is in town visiting from abroad. 
During dinner with Barbara and her family, Lola/Lucy arrives unannounced of course, to support her brother and meet his new lady. What follows is Lucy's attempt to sour any possibility of Jerry making an good impression on Barbara and her parents.
It is quite the tennis match throughout the film. The lengths to which both Jerry and Lucy go to only lead them to realize how much they trully mean to one another. Below is an earlier scene in the film, from which Lucy draws her inspiration to portray Jerry's sister.


Sometimes I wish romance was as fun and carefree as it is in The Awful Truth.
