The Awful Truth was a 1929 American Pre-Code romantic comedy film, distributed by Pathé Exchange, directed by Marshall Neilan, and starring Ina Claire and Henry Daniell. The screenplay was written by Horace Jackson and Arthur Richman, based on a play by Richman. Ina Claire starred in the original stage version on Broadway in 1922. The film is now considered lost.
There were two film versions of the original play on which the 1929 film was based: a 1925 silent version with Agnes Ayres and Warner Baxter; and the best-known version, made in 1937 and starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant. The play was remade unsuccessfully in color as the musical Let's Do It Again (1953), starring Jane Wyman and Ray Milland.
