Review of Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) by Sv G — 30 Jan 2009
Cary Grant shows his fine comedic side and timing in this old Capra film about a man that discovers his two sweet little aunties played delishiously by Josephine Hull and Jean Adair have found a new "charity" when a dead body shows up in the window seat.
Couple that with one brother who lives there thinking he is Teddy Roosevelt and another long lost brother (a murderer) who shows up with a badly scarred face and his plastic surgeon played by Peter Lorre and one brand new pretty wife trying to figure out just what is going on.
A great old movie that still will delight and entertain.
