A reviewer wrote that in Run for Your Wife , "Smith played the beleaguered bigamist, John Smith, to weary perfection. His British accent was believable and his physical comedy flawless." [7] A reviewer of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead wrote, "They are a nicely matched pair exhibiting just enough shadings of difference to make them more than ciphers. ... Smith's Guildenstern is a more practical, moody sort, who cannot understand their impending fate." [4]
