Mr. and Mrs. Smith

COME LIVE WITH ME

1941

Directed by Clarence Brown

Written by Virginia Van Upp and Patterson McNutt

Spoilers: moderate

Listen, honey, being a Ziegfeld girl is swell, but at most it's only a few years out of a lifetime

ZIEGFELD GIRL

1941

Directed by Robert Z. Leonard

Written by William Anthony McGuire, Marguerite Roberts, Sonya Levien, and Annalee Whitmore

Spoiler alert: it's easier to predict the ending than in the actual Ziegfeld biopic, but I'll keep it to "moderate"

G-d Week: In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.

SAMSON AND DELILAH

1949

Directed by Cecil B. DeMille

Written by Jesse L. Lasky Jr., Fredric M. Frank, and Harold Lamb (based on the one book, and also the other book by Vladimir Jabotinsky)

Spoiler alert: "inspiration for Christ" doesn't imply a happy ending, does it?
