Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a 1941 screwball comedy film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and written by Norman Krasna.
The original movie starred Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery as Ann Smith and David Smith, a lawyer who discover that they are not actually married. This gives them second thoughts as to whether they should stay together or not. Gene Raymond stars as a friend and colleague of David who begins to woo Ann.
While Hitchcock later claimed he directed the film, his only pure comedy in America, as a favor to Lombard, the files at RKO Pictures show that Hitchcock himself pursued the film.[1]
[edit] Hitchcock's cameo
- Alfred Hitchcock cameo: A signature occurrence in almost all of Hitchcock's films, he can be seen passing Robert Montgomery in front of his building, at about 43 minutes into the film. Lombard herself directed Hitchcock in the brief scene.
