Gene Raymond

That July, gossip columnist Leonard Lyons had reported in The Washington Post that Hitchcock had referred to actors as cattle, a joke about their being there to follow his directions, herded as he saw fit.

On the first day of filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Lombard had three young cows put in a small pen on the set, labeled Carole Lombard, Robert Montgomery, and Gene Raymond, the film's three stars.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith was released in early 1941.

It was popular and profitable, even if reviews were mixed.

Yeah, didn't you wear a blonde wig?

That was Gene Raymond.

[laughs]

Oh, no wonder you looked so good.

[laughs]

I saw it, Jack.

I saw it and I thought it was great, but of course you couldn't expect to win the girl against a fella like Gene Raymond.

Is that so? Jack's lost better girls than Gene Raymond will ever get.
