Intolerable Cruelty

Audiences primarily experience Humor and Joy from the film's sharp, witty dialogue and the absurd, escalating battle of wits between Miles and Marylin. Love and Happiness are central as their undeniable attraction develops amidst the deception. Anticipation and Anxiety arise from the clever legal and personal schemes, while Relief and Satisfaction come with the eventual resolution of their complex, often farcical, relationship.
