5/06: Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a zzzzz...

I beg of you, Alfred Hitchcock, to go back to what you do the best at. According to IMDb, the following explains the reason why Mr. & Mrs. Smith was made:

"Alfred Hitchcock decided to direct this film because of Carole Lombard's request. This was one of the few films where Hitchcock wasn't involved in the scripting process. Since he really didn't understand the type of people who were portrayed in the film, all he did was basically photograph the scenes as written."

Naturally so. One year later, Carole Lombard died in a plane crash. What an awful movie this is. It's not funny at all. I hate the characters, the dialogue, and just about everything else.

All in all, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is one of the worst films in Alfred Hitchcock's oeuvre.
