Second Round Matches of Favorite Screwball Film Tourney

Here are the next round of matches scheduled to begin on Sunday. Since there are only 8 matches left, I have decided to hold the rest of the tourney here on All Good Things to make it more convenient. As this blog gets way more traffic than Screwball Cinema. As we get into the meat of the tourney now, the matches become more evenly matched. And there are some great matches. For instance the match between His Girl Friday and The Philadelphia Story, which once again features Cary Grant squaring off against himself. Or the match between My Man Godfrey and The Awful Truth. That should be a fun one. And The Thin Man taking on The Palm Beach Story. This should be a very entertaining round for sure. The fun begins Sunday evening and will run through Friday evening.
