Critic Reviews

Collider Andrea Ciriaco

Alfred Hitchcock's Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a chuckle-filled screwball comedy featuring one of Lombard's greatest comedic performances. Read full review

IndieWire Jim Hemphill

What makes the film compelling is the fact that even though Norman Krasna’s script contains no friction between the needs of the genre and the impulses of the characters, Hitchcock creates it anyway. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Less Hitchcock, however, than writer Norman Krasna, who at his best could twist conventional characters and plot patterns in such beguiling ways that you'd almost forget their antiquity. This comes near his best. Read full review

Dave Kehr

The screenplay is by Norman Krasna, a hack of the lowest degree, but Hitchcock shapes it smoothly to his personal ends. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Pacing his assignment at a steady gait, Hitchcock catches all of the laugh values from the above par script of Norman Krasna. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Mr. and Mrs. Smith is not the most brilliant comedy to hit the screen, nor is it the best directed, acted or produced. It may be disappointing to many of the followers of Norman Krasna, Alfred Hitchcock and Carole Lombard who expected extreme brilliance from that trio, but there’s enough fun in it to send you home happy with your entertainment.

Theodore Strauss

A chucklesome comedy that fails to mount into a coruscating wave of laughter. Read full review
