Episode 25: "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (1941) feat. Olympia Kiriakou
Hitchcock's only screwball comedy is a treat for those who like to see the director doing something unexpected and slightly beyond his comfort zone. Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery play a New York couple who suddenly discovers that their marriage is actually not valid. Will they decide to remarry? We are joined by Olympia Kiriakou, the author of "Becoming Carole Lombard: Stardom, Comedy, and Legacy" (published in 2020), the very first book devoted entirely to this wonderful actress and star of the classical Hollywood cinema.
