May 21 movie: Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery play a married couple who discover that their wedding wasn't legal. Montgomery doesn't ask Lombard to remarry him quickly enough for her taste, so she dumps him and starts dating his business partner. Hilarity ensues! Hitchcock's only screwball comedy, this isn't the greatest example of the genre ever made, but it is very funny, and very screwball, and well worth watching. There are a few hysterical sequences (like Montgomery punching himself in the nose to induce a nosebleed and get out of a bad date, or Lombard trying to convince the business partner that after getting caught in the rain, hard liquor is medicine).
