Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter revolves around personal relationships, misunderstandings, and reconciliation within a marriage, which is not inherently aligned with a specific political ideology. The solution championed is the personal rediscovery of love and commitment, rather than an ideological stance on social institutions.
This classic film from 1937 features a cast that is predominantly white, consistent with the common casting practices of its era. The narrative centers on romantic comedy and personal relationships, without engaging in critical portrayals of traditional identities or incorporating explicit themes related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Secondary
The film "The Awful Truth" is a classic screwball comedy from 1937, primarily focused on the heterosexual romantic entanglements of its main characters. There are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present within the narrative, leading to a classification of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The Awful Truth, a 1937 screwball comedy, focuses on marital misunderstandings and reconciliation between a cisgender couple. The film does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes, nor does it touch upon gender identity beyond conventional cisgender portrayals of the era. Therefore, its net impact on transsexual representation is N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Awful Truth (1937) is an original film with characters created specifically for its screenplay. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical versions of these characters from other source material whose gender could have been altered.
The film is an adaptation of a 1923 play. There is no indication that any character's race was explicitly defined in the source material in a way that differs from their portrayal in the 1937 film, nor are there any historical figures depicted.
