Hard Truths - BLU-RAY

The Unbelievable Truth is a comedy of errors surrounding a beautiful college bound girl (Adrienne Shelly) disturbingly preoccupied with the threat of nuclear destruction. Nevertheless, she falls in love with a handsome ex-con (Robert John Burke) who is rumored to have murdered, many years before, the father of his high school sweetheart. A warm-hearted satire about idealistic young love, capitalist moralizing in the home, forgiveness, skepticism, and the need for work one loves. The stellar cast includes Edie Falco, Matt Malloy and Paul Schulze. This was writer and director Hal Hartley's feature film debut.

When glib stockbroker Steve Bennett (Bob Hope) challenges the dubious ethics of his boss (Edward Arnold), the old man responds with a $10,000 bet that Steve can't go 24 hours without telling a lie. Steve swallows hard and takes the wager-and, spending the next day on a yachting party, he starts paying a comical price for his brutal honesty. Funny take on the stage hit co-stars Paulette Goddard, Helen Vinson, Leif Erickson. 90 min. Standard; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
