Mr & Mrs Smith (1941 Alfred Hitchcock)

An annoying premise, in which a truculent couple realise they're not married and - because he's said the wrong thing - she insists she doesn't want to tie the knot. Lombard is fine as always, shot by Harry Stradling (Hitch apparently only did the film as a favour to her, at RKO), Robert Montgomery is slightly annoying. I did though quite like their return to their favourite Italian restaurant which has become somewhat declassé, and the high chair in the rain.

With Gene Raymond, Jack Carson, William Tracy, Charles Halton.
