True Confession (1937)

Directed by Wesley Ruggles

Opposites attract despite their differences in this by turns wacky and heartfelt romantic comedy starring Carole Lombard, as well-meaning but incorrigible liar Helen Bartlett, and Fred MacMurray, as her honest lawyer husband. Helen’s fantastical falsehoods turn the Bartletts’ lives upside down, but when she's wrongly accused of murder, she pretends she committed the crime to help her husband’s career.
