Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Carole Lombard, Robert Montgomery, Gene Raymond, Jack Carson, Philip Merivale

In Hitchcock's rare foray into comedy (courtesy of a wittily risque script by Norman Krasna), Mr. Smith (Robert Montgomery) makes the mistake of telling Mrs. Smith (Carole Lombard) that if he had it t... read more read more...o do all over again, he might not have married her. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Smith discovers that his marriage is invalid. Rather than say goodbye, the newly aroused Mr. Smith attempts to entice Mrs. Smith into the bedroom, thrilled at the prospect of an "illicit" romance. But Mrs. Smith has also been apprised that her marriage is no more--and, remembering Mr. Smith's "second thoughts", she kicks him out of the house. This comedy of misunderstanding rolls merrily along from this point onward, accommodating an uproarious scene at a fancy restaurant, a near-liaison between Mrs. Smith and new beau Gene Raymond on the World's Fair parachute jump, and a farcical denouement at a ski lodge, with Mrs. Smith's conjugally crossed skis symbolizing the carnal pleasures ahead for both Mr. and Mrs. Smith. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    The only way I can rationalize the steaming pile of shit that is known as Mr. & Mrs. Smith was that Alfred Hitchcock had no idea what to do for his next movie or he needed to make a really big step back before taking many steps forward in the coming years. I love screwball comedi... read morees from this era but Mr. & Mrs. Smith is disappointing. Compound the fact that Hitchcock made it (comedy wasn't his specialty admittedly) and you're talking a borderline crime against humanity. Carole Lombard was admittedly beautiful but crazy as a shithouse rat to the point where I almost shut this down in the first half hour. I was filled with rage at how shitty the characters were and how the whole resolution was tacked on at the very end. I think I actually would've been happier if one of them died at the end. Watch with e x t r e m e caution and incredibly low expectations. Mr. & Mrs. Smith had a few funny moments but they didn't outweigh the painful and embarrassing ones.

    Forget that stupid movie with Jolie and Pitt, this is the real Mr. & Mrs. Smith! Hitchcock, unlikely enough, brings us a romantic comedy! It's really enjoyable, I liked it.

    Just a really odd movie for Hitchcock to do. It isnâ??t all that bad, itâ??s obviously shot well, itâ??s just really mediocre. The plot is really flat and unoriginal, itâ??s a sub-par attempt at screwball comedy. None of the performances are all that noteworthy, but none are bad.... read more Itâ??s probably the lowest point in Hitchcockâ??s career.

    not typical Hitchcock by any means but played well by two comedic experts.

    You'd never know Hitchcock was involved if his name wasn't in the credits as this is pretty standard '40s battle of the sexes comedy with a quarreling couple discovering they were never legally married. Slow to start and overstays its welcome, but boosted by an often funny midse... read morection beginning with dinner at the Florida Club. Carole Lombard looks great but her character is too unreasonable to really get behind.

    This is a delightful romantic comedy starring Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery. I was not aware until I watched it last night that it was directed by Hitchcock. The comedy is a wee bit risque for 1941 and much more clever than the standard fare for that genre in that time.

    Very funny classic comedy with Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery as a husband and wife who after three years discover they aren't really married. So when it comes time to actually make it legal, the husband has second thoughts. Screwball hi-jinks ensue with Lombard and Montgom... read moreery making a great team. And what's surprising about this film is the fact that it is directed by the master of suspense-Alfred Hitchcock. I recommend this film to any film lover of classic screwball comedies. It's one of the best.

    Boring (for the most part) screwball comedy. It's played remarkably straight, perhaps due to the director's unfamiliarity with the genre. Carole Lombard does a good job here and Robert Montgomery has his moments, but it doesn't add up to much.
