Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941) is a screwball comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery. It stands as the only pure comedy in Hitchcock's filmography — Lombard personally persuaded him to take it on.

Ann and David Smith have built three happy years of marriage around one rule: once a month, one question, one completely honest answer. Ann asks whether David would marry her again if he had the chance. He admits, truthfully, that he wouldn't. That same afternoon, a city official informs them separately that their marriage was never legally valid — a paperwork quirk involving county boundaries. David sees an opportunity for a romantic reset. Ann sees an exit.

What follows is a cheerful battle of wills between two people who clearly still want each other but are far too stubborn to say so. Light, fast, and sharper than most comedies of the era. Stream Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941) online on iFILM.
