Product Description

"If you had it all to do over again, would you have married me?" Yes, guys, there is a right answer. That's something David Smith learns the hard way when bubbly better- half Ann queries him over breakfast. Also right are radiant Carole Lombard and easygoing Robert Montgomery as the stars of this breezy Alfred Hitchcock comedy. For three years, the Smiths have been blissed but battling. But when a technicality voids their union, Mr. misses Mrs, orbiting the tale into the delightful cockamamie of the screwball genre. From a script by Academy Award winner" Norman Krasna, Hitchcock made his change-of-pace foray into all- out humor memorable. "Here again are his unmistakable touches," Look declared. "The net effect is the same, too: another Alfred Hitchcock hit."

Customer Reviews

The queen of screwball comedy meets H-i-t-c-h-c-o-c-k.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Robert Montgomery and Carole Lombard) have a marriage with many ups and downs. One day at the office, Mr. Smith finds out that he is not legally married. Surprise, Mrs. Smith also finds out and waits for Mr. Smith to propose making it legal. Somehow, he forgets to do this and drives her into the arms of his friend and partner. Why won't the cat eat the soup? How will all this turn out? This formula was popular at the time the movie was made. This version is a tad more complex, but it is still necessary to suspend reality. We do get a good look at the 1939 World’s Fair. Carole Lombard is not quite as noisy. Robert Montgomery is good at almost slapstick situations.
