Description:
You'll die laughing!Frank Capra directs Cary Grant, Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre and stellar cast in the hit Broadway farce about a nutcase family with well-intentioned homicidal tendencies.
Amazon.com essential video:
Frank Capra made this film in 1941 before he went off to make films for America's war effort, but it wasn't released until 1944. Adapted from the hit play by Joseph Kesselring, this frantic black comedy shows Capra at his best as a master of mood and timing. Actresses Josephine Hull and Jean Adair reprise their Broadway performances as two gentle old ladies who poison men with elderberry wine to put them out of their misery. Cary Grant plays one nephew, a normal guy who just gets wind of their little hobby and tries to get them to stop, while Raymond Massey plays another, a villain just escaped from jail. Capra encourages the cast, especially Grant, to give a somewhat more outsized performance than one might expect. But made during the war years as it was, this overstated comic approach to killing was probably cathartic. --Tom Keogh

It is a must ... Read More

Delightful Cary Grant movie, and sold at a great price. (I'd some some comparison shopping.) DVD was in excellent condition.
Rating: - Arsenic and Old Lace
Cannot go wrong with Cary Grant in this crazy comedy.Love to watch it during Halloween.The old ladies are too much fun. Highly recommend.
Rating: - I love this movie
I absolutely love this movie, and the main reason is Cary Grant.My only regret where Cary Grant is concerned is that I wasn't alive when his pictures were actually shown in theaters!But then, I wouldn't get to enjoy them over and over again on my DVDs.No one Hollywood has to offer today can ever expect to hope to touch him for talent or looks.I even have my 12- and 10-year-old nieces begging to watch this and "Bringing Up Baby" over and over again!Even a kid knows quality when they see ...

Rating: - Its my Halloween Tradition
I have loved this movie since I was a kid. Every Halloween I put this film in and watch as I have my dinner. Old fashion but great fun. If you enjoy old comedies give this one a try.
