Hitchcock's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" with Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery.

It's a pleasant enough movie. The actors were amusing in it.

I'll have to find my old VHS copy and watch it again.

RKO sure did a crap job with this trailer. I was just expecting more
and this was probably typical for the time.
