Carole Lombard was offered the lead role in a proposed melodrama, "Smiler with a Knife," to be directed by a newcomer at RKO named Orson Welles. She turned it down, opting to return to screwball comedy in Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941). Welles refused to make "Smiler" without her. After briefly considering Lucille Ball for the lead role, he began work on Citizen Kane (1941).
