Little question for you lot;
What is the Awful Truth in this film?

I think 'the awful truth' (at least in Jerry and Lucy's minds) is that they are still madly in love with each other.

That's what I thought as well.

The awful truth is that both were unfaithful (the awful truth) but they ended up remaining together.

There is no evidence that either one of them was actually unfaithful to the other.

The awful truth is in Lucy's confession to Aunt Patsy, that she was still crazy about Jerry, even though she was too proud and stubborn to admit it to Jerry. And if we've been paying attention, it's just as clear that Jerry's still in love with her.

The awful truth was that they had never stopped loving each other all the time.
