The Awful Truth (1937) as Jerry Warriner

View Quote [to Daniel] Take good care of her. Maybe you'll succeed where I failed. And I'm sure that the three of you will be very happy out where the West begins. If you ever think of me, send me a postcard. Just say, 'Having a wonderful time!' I'll understand.

The Philadelphia Story (1940) as Dexter
