McCarey could make you laugh and cry in the same studio picture. He directed the Marx Brothers in Duck Soup, where Rufus T. Firefly becomes dictator of Freedonia and declares war over a rich widow. The Awful Truth sends a married couple into divorce proceedings on unfounded suspicions, and then has them sabotage each other's new romances. An Affair to Remember is the shipboard love story between a playboy and a nightclub singer.
