    Mr. & Mrs. Smith  (1941)

    This film is a surpise from the master of suspense as it is his only foray into actual comedy though he has blended comedy into most of his suspensers earlier.

    The plot is more of a bedroom farce without actually entering it as was the code in the golden era. Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery are paired beautifully and the subtle innuendos in the dialogues are incredibly funny and also outlive its age as they are relevant today.

    The master proves that he can handle the genre as well as others. Unfortunately the movie is not available and mostly prone to be mis-identified with the Brad Pitt film.

    A great war movie excellently adapted from Alistair McLeans novel of the same name. The plot is as usual - British Commandos are sent as saboteurs to eliminate some guns that are targeting British ships in the Mediterranean. It is vital that the Commandos succeed in misleading the Jerries that they plan to evacuate the British troops on Crete after they destroy these guns and the raid itself is a ploy to ensure that the Germans are diverted in attention to enable the Royal Navy to undertake its task.

    The casting of Gregory Peck as a British officer is a little hard to swallow but one must admit that he lives up to the task. David Niven as the Professor turned sabotage expert is as usual great and Anthony Quayle is quintessentially the stiff upper lip English officer to the core. Alltogether the movie is a War classic
