Mr & Mrs Smith (1941 Alfred Hitchcock)

Carole Lombard, Robert Montgomery, Gene Raymond, Jack Carson

Ph. Harry Stradling

Silly story (couple realise they're not legally married). One or two good touches e.g. feet under table, skis.
"The picture was done as a friendly gesture to Carole Lombard [oh, yeah?]..she asked whether I'd do a picture with her. In a weak moment I accepted, and I more or less followed Norman Krasna's screenplay. Since I really didn't understand the type of people who were portrayed in the film, all I did was to photograph the scenes as written." Hitchcock, Francois Truffaut.
