USA 1941
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is arguably the most untypical of all Hitchcock
films. It's not a thriller. It's a screwball comedy starring Carole Lombard,
the quintessential screwball dame. This was one of her last roles. She would
die just two years later in an airplane crash. Hitchcock accepted the
directorial assignment as a favor to Lombard, but because he had little
experience with the lead characters, he merely shot the screenplay (supplied
by Norman Krasna).
By no means was Hitchcock new to comedy, for he includes plentiful doses of
comic relief in most of his thrillers. But here the story is all comedy. It
begins with the outrageous premise that a technicality voids the union of the
Smiths (Robert Montgomery and Carole Lombard), and they must decide whether to
become officially married.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith contains several great scenes, such as the scene at a
nightclub where Jack Carson brings along two floozies, one as a date for
Montgomery. However, Lombard also shows up at the nightclub, along with her
new beau, played by '30s matinee idol Gene Raymond. So Montgomery ties to
extricate himself before she sees him—by giving himself a bloody nose! Another
great scene comes in a rundown restaurant. When the Smiths were newlyweds,
they ate at this restaurant, but now it's a seedy joint. The Smiths dutifully
proceed with their dinner plans, as they try to rekindle the old flame.

| Comments | This is the
most un-typical Hitchcock movie i've seen, it's a screwball comedy and not
a thriller. In one of the leading rolls we have "The Queen of Screwball
Comedy" Carole Lombard, who tragically died in a plane accident the year
after this movie. The image of this DVD is fantastic, sharp and clean from dust and scratches. Warner did an excellent job on all of the films in "Signature Collection". There is a 16 minute documentary in the extras which is pretty interesting. - Arvid |
