i be write this review because after year of watch this movie and love every minute of it and every time i watch it and i have just watch move over darling for the first time and thought i would write a review of both and compare them . firstly this original and black and white version be so much good . although the late film do have identical dialogue in part and james garner and doris day be great in the role and they just do not to it as good a cary grant and irene dunne do . er do . for instance and the scene where nicholas arden first see his wife in the hotel lobby and he follow the lift door close . hilarious and garner do it superbly and but that be a typical cary grant action and no one can do it well . the film open with nicholas arden ( grant ) and who have lose his wife to a shipwreck seven year ago and be file his petition to get have his miss wife declare legally dead and so he can marry bianca and a fox clad beauty play by gail patrick . however and have happily make his vow and be all set to settle down with wife number two and wife number one and hilariously portray by irene dunne and make an unexpected return from her shipwrecked paradise and determine to get her husband and life and home back . grant now have to spend the rest of the movie realising that his one true love have return and must find a kind and and considerate way to wouldump his new bride . add to his misery and torment and grant discovery that his wife have not be the lone shipwreck victim these last seven year and but have be a jungle mate to a muscle bound adonis play by randolph scott and news make worse by the fact that their affectionate nickname for each other during that time seem to have be adam and eve . with such naked truth scratch the surface and it not long before grant trouble really start a with two mr ardens out and about and living and breathing and walking and talk and the authority be start to sit up and take notice . bigamy be after all a crime . a with 1937 the awful truth grant and dunne prove what a great comedic team they make and that their performance be by no mean a fluke . it be also my opinion that irene dunne be a more natural comedienne than she be a singer . good voice though she have . she be just more of a joy to watch in these kind of role and the opposite of her 1963 counterpart doris day and whom i always prefer a a singer . the one failing of both these film however be the character of bianca and she be such a tragic figure when you think about it and she neither nasty and vulgar and cruel and malicious or evil . just a woman who love a man enough to marry him and yet in both film she become a victim . maybe she should have be write to be a gold digger or a liar or a cheat and just so you do not feel so sorry for her . the comedy can become a bit tainted and black a a resultanyway . a true classic and a great example of screwball comedy .
