Screwball

Today I caught most of Libeled Lady on TCM. It's a great movie that I've seen several times and still love.

I'm not sure why Libeled Lady isn't mentioned when people talk about great screwball comedies. It's got a wonderful cast: Jean Harlow, William Powell, Myrna Loy and Spencer Tracy. The story is funny; the dialogue is fast and snappy.

I pick Bringing Up Baby as the best screwball comedy. Libeled Lady is a close second. I think The Awful Truth is overrated. (There, I said it.)

I'll happily watch Libeled Lady whenever I can.
