Review of Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) by Masorad ( — 16 Jul 2009
One of Grant's best comedy reels, and black and morbid enough to still raise (or half-arch) an eyebrow today. Somewhat constrained by its theatre origins, Capra plays a lot with the lightswitch and close-ups but the dialogue and plot are what keep the thing going.
