With Cary Grant's talent for madcap comedy, with hilariously sinister performances by Raymond Massey and Peter Lorre, with two adorable old ladies who have a very dark secret, plus half-a-dozen other eccentric characters, all involved in a complicated and unpredictable plot, this is a comic masterpiece. Director Frank Capra keeps everything moving and adds his own touch, keeping some dark material entirely light-hearted. This is the kind of movie for which mere analysis cannot do justice to how well everything fits together. The characters, cast, and writing are all perfect, and the crazy story gives every character some great moments. There is plenty of witty dialogue, lots of funny slapstick and physical humor, and quite a few wild plot developments. None of it is meant to be plausible, but it is all hugely entertaining, and done with such skill that it is easy to suspend disbelief.

If you happen not to have seen this before, stick with it for the first few minutes, until you arrive at the home of Cary Grant's two aunts, and then things will take off quickly. If you enjoy morbid humor, "Arsenic and Old Lace" is an absolute must-see. 73 of 80 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) Starring: Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane, Josephine Hull - Three Movie Buffs Review Reviewed on: June 10th, 2003 Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace. 35 years before Monty Python was formed, Frank Capra directed Cary Grant in the Pythonesque dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace. This surrealistic classic used many of the comedy conventions that the British troupe would twist even further in their day , and it did it before some of the Pythons were even born. Ahead of its time? Yes, but it is also infinitely of its time, and has stood the test of time to remain as funny today as anything Hollywood is producing now.

The very idea of two sweet old maiden aunts who take in lonely old men as boarders and then poison them to relieve the men of the burden of loneliness could have been taken straight out of a Python sketch. The fact that they also live with Teddy, who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt and charges up the stairs as if they were San Juan Hill, only adds to that. Along with the tongue in cheek opening sub-titles and other surreal moments, this really could be a Python sketch stretched out to a full-length movie. Cary Grant plays Mortimer Brewster, a nephew of the sweet little murderesses; he's a Drama Critic and confirmed bachelor (He's so confirmed that the book he's writing is entitled 'Mind Over Matrimony'). This is not only Grant's funniest performance in his long career, but also one of the funniest performances ever caught on film. What makes his performance so masterly is that essentially he plays the straight man in a house full of oddballs, yet it is his reactions and double takes that make you laugh. It's completely over the top of course, but that's what the part calls for and it works. Not that Grant is the only one to get the laughs in this movie.

The Aunts explanation of how they murder the old gentlemen is classic. After telling Mortimer how they add Arsenic, Strychnine, and Cyanide to Elderberry wine (because 'it makes tea taste bitter'), they proudly add that 'one of the gentlemen even found time to say how nice it tasted before he died.' Based on a Broadway play, almost the entire movie takes place in the Aunt's sitting room, with the zany cast members popping and charging in and out of it. With such a limited set and a running length of 2 hours, you might think it could get dull, but with such a talented cast, the crackling dialogue, and Capra's directing touch, the movie zips right along. I don't really know if the Pythons were fans of this movie or if it influenced them at all. I do know however, that Python alum John Cleese named his character Archie Leach (Cary Grant's real name) in A Fish Called Wanda. In Wanda, Cleese plays a very Grant like character, and must have been inspired in part by this movie. Whether they were or not, Arsenic and Old Lace stands as a classic. Did you enjoy Scott's review?

+14 Reviewed on: June 13th, 2003 Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace. As Scott wrote, the set up is great. Two sweet old lady serial killers is the perfect arrangement for a dark comedy. These two old spinsters dote around their house acting like the kindest old grandma's you ever met. The scene where they admit to Mortimer that they are murderesses is the funniest in the movie. Grant's near speechless reaction to the news is hysterical. On hand to add suspense is Mortimer's sadistic brother Jonathan. Everyone who sees him does a double take. His lone companion, Dr. Einstein, is a plastic surgeon whose latest work on Jonathan has him looking a bit too much like Frankenstein's Monster. In another good scene Jonathan gets bent out of shape when he finds out that his old Aunts have killed more people than he has. But wait, there are more crazy characters. Scott mentioned the insane Teddy, who buries the victims in the basement where he thinks he is digging the Panama Canal. There is also the rookie cop who really wants to be a playwright.

He explains his play to a tied up and gagged Mortimer as Jonathan sneaks up on him. His mom was a stripper. He has issues. Grant pulls off a fairly amazing feat. With all of this insanity going on around him he manages to steal the movie. Grant often played the calm, cool figure in movies. It is no wonder that his best comedic work is when he plays someone who loses control of a situation. Check out Bringing Up Baby for another Grant comedy where his reactions are as important as the punchline. Did you enjoy Eric's review? +14 Reviewed on: June 14th, 2003 Cary Grant, Raymond Massey and Peter Lorre in Arsenic and Old Lace. In a movie full of outrageously funny lines my favorite bit of dialogue is when the two Aunts have the following exchange about their nephew Teddy. Abby: 'Oh, do you remember, Martha, once a long time ago, we thought if he'd be George Washington, it might be a change for him, and we suggested it.' Martha: 'And do you know what happened?

He just stayed under his bed for days and wouldn't be anybody.' I always enjoy Peter Lorre doing a spoof of himself as the plastic surgeon (in the play Jonathan was played by Boris Karloff) and I agree that Cary Grant's inimitable mugging is classic, especially in the scene where he first discovers the body in the window seat. Yes this movie is a laugh riot but I have always been a little disappointed with the ending. Partly because the first hour is so incredibly funny that it would have been nearly impossible to maintain that level of humor for the entire movie. But then in doing some research I came across a couple of interesting changes that were made when the script was adapted from the play. At the end when Mortimer finds out that he is not actually a Brewster and giddily exclaims to Elaine, 'I'm not really a Brewster, I'm a son of a sea cook!' Thanks to the Hays Code the line was changed. Originally Mortimer said, 'Darling, I'm a bastard!' And the final scene showing the two Aunts pouring a glass of elderberry wine for Mr. Witherspoon was edited out.

As unfortunate as these changes are they do little to spoil the entertainment value of this subversively funny screen gem. Did you enjoy Patrick's review? +14 Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) Pages: ( 1 ) ( 2 ) Background Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) is a frenzied, hilarious, madcap black comedy from celebrated director Frank Capra. The slapstick film, with murderous aunts compassionately serving up elderberry wine to elderly gentlemen - with their crazy nephew assisting by burying the unfortunate victims, is unlike most of the other reform-minded Capra-corn films with a social conscience that became his trademark, e.g., Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) , Meet John Doe (1941) , or Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) . It is more similar in tone to his screwball romantic comedy It Happened One Night (1934) and to Capra's other adaptation from a Broadway play You Can't Take It With You (1938).

Cary Grant does a marvelous job of exaggerated acting with constant mugging and other facial plasticity, amazing double-takes, slapstick and general befuddlement. This macabre comedy film was un-nominated for Academy Awards. The film's screenplay was written by Julius J. Epstein and Philip G. Epstein. The macabre farce was based on Joseph Kesselring's successful Broadway play of the same name, and delayed in its exhibition and release for three years until the New York play ended its run. [The film's opening was on September 23, 1944.] The original cast stars of the Kesselring play, Jean Adair, Josephine Hull, and John Alexander, were released for a short while (for four weeks, the duration of the film shoot) to reprise their roles in the film, and joined established stars - such as Cary Grant. The Story The frenzied, energetic comedy-farce opens with the title screen after the credits play above drawings indicating that it is Halloween time: This is a Hallowe'en tale of Brooklyn, where anything can happen - - and it usually does. At 3 P.M.

on this particular day, this was happening - A riotous fist-fight erupts during a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Yankees at Ebbetts Field. The film comments upon the unruly and foreign nature of the town of Brooklyn with the next title card: "While at the same time across the river in the UNITED STATES PROPER, there was romance in the air." Surreptitiously in line to apply for a marriage license in the City Clerk's Office is sunglasses ("cheaters")-wearing, respected NY drama critic Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant). An avowed bachelor ("the guy who wrote the bachelor's bible finally getting hooked himself"), he is with lovely girl-next-door Elaine Harper (Priscilla Lane), a minister's daughter. Mortimer tells the hard-of-hearing clerk (Spencer Charters): "I don't want this to get out for a while." When his cover is blown, he retreats from curious photographers looking for a story and hides in an already-occupied public telephone booth. Exasperated, he exclaims to his fiancee that he is reluctant to be "hooked" while she patiently listens to his outburst: Mortimer: Don't you understand?

How can I marry you? Me! The symbol of bachelorhood. I've sneered at every love scene in every play. I've written four million words against marriage. Now I'll be hooked to a minister's daughter. And not only a minister's daughter but a girl from Brooklyn. And look at ya! Look at the way you look. What is that infernal contraption you've got there? (He gestures toward her lapel pin) Elaine: (calmly) That's a pin I borrowed from your aunts. You know what they say, Mortimer, something borrowed and something... Mortimer: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that bromide. Something borrowed and something blue, old, new. Rice and old shoes, carry you over the threshold, Niagara Falls, all the silly tripe I've made fun of for years. Is this what I've come to? I can't go through with it. I won't marry you - and that's that! Elaine: (adoringly and softly) Yes, Mortimer. Mortimer: What do you mean, "Yes, Mortimer"? Aren't you insulted? Aren't you gonna cry?

Aren't you gonna make a scene? Elaine: (wet-eyed) No, Mortimer. Mortimer: And don't "No, Mortimer" me, either! Don't, don't you see, marriage is a superstition, it - it's old-fashioned, it's - I - I - Ohhh. He succumbs to her wide-eyed innocence, kisses her, and then drags her back into the license bureau to be quickly and secretly hitched together.

The next title card introduces the old Brewster family mansion in the Brooklyn neighborhood: "And now, back to one of Brooklyn's most charming residential districts - -." In the cemetery's graveyard, established in April 1654, next to the house is one tombstone for JACOB JOHN VANDEMEER, died 1654, accompanied by an ominous subtitle: " -- From here in you're on your own." A elderly cop Officer Brophy (Edward McNamara) on the beat tells a younger police officer named Patrick 'Pat' O'Hara (Jack Carson) who is taking over his duties: "I'm turning over to you the nicest, the best beat in Brooklyn...This whole neighborhood just stinks with atmosphere." Mortimer's two gentle, wealthy and kindly maiden aunts live in the historical mansion on the middle-class block, with a "ROOM FOR RENT" sign posted in front: They're two of the dearest, sweetest, kindest old ladies that ever walked the earth. They're out of this world...They're like pressed rose leaves...Their old man left them fixed for life..

Brophy insists that the ladies don't need to rent out a room, and praises their charitable nature: "They don't rent rooms, but you can bet if anybody came around looking for a room, they wouldn't go away without a good meal and probably a couple of bucks in their pocket. That's just their way of digging up people to do good to." Aunt Abby (Josephine Hull), one of the Brewster sisters, is having tea with Elaine's father, Reverend Harper (Grant Mitchell) from the church (and parsonage) next door. He disapproves of her nephew's romance with his daughter because of Mortimer's published literary work and anti-matrimonial viewpoint in: Marriage: A Fraud and a Failure: No man with this published attitude on marriage should take any man's daughter any place at any time. Mortimer's bizarre, eccentric younger brother, their nephew Theodore Brewster (John Alexander), fantasizes that he is President Teddy Roosevelt. His first line in the film, after Reverend Harper sneezes, indicates his "cuckoo" nature: Teddy: I must be catching cold. Abby: No dear, it was Reverend Harper who sneezed.

He delivers a yell of "CHAAAARGGGE" and then charges up the staircase at every opportunity while blowing his bugle, believing it is San Juan Hill all over again ("the stairs are always San Juan Hill"). The spinsters are again commended by Reverend Harper: "If I know what pure kindness and absolute generosity are, it's because I've known the Brewster sisters." The second Brewster sister, Aunt Martha (Jean Adair), arrives just as Reverend Harper is leaving - and expresses concern over Teddy: Reverend Harper: Have you ever tried to persuade him that he wasn't Teddy Roosevelt? Abby: Oh, no! Martha: Oh, he's so happy being Teddy Roosevelt. Abby: Oh, do you remember, Martha, once a long time ago, we thought if he'd be George Washington, it might be a change for him, and we suggested it. Martha: And do you know what happened? He just stayed under his bed for days and wouldn't be anybody. The Aunts assure the Reverend that Mortimer has made arrangements for Teddy to be institutionalized in the Happydale Sanitarium after their passing.

The newlyweds take a taxicab to Brooklyn to briefly tell their families (his aunts and her father) about their recent marriage, and their intentions to set off on a honeymoon to Niagara Falls: "We're gonna go whole hog. Niagara Falls - everybody ought to go to Niagara Falls...We've got a drawing room on the train, the bridal suite in the hotel, and tomorrow morning, we go over the falls in a barrel." Mortimer instructs the cab driver (Garry Owen) to wait for a moment before taking them to the train station. With a lascivious look on his face, he chases after Elaine for a playful tryst in the cemetery "right out here in the open with everyone looking." After emerging from behind a tree, the two are hopelessly and crazy in love: Elaine: But Mortimer, you're going to love me for my mind, too? Mortimer: One thing at a time. To celebrate the news of Mortimer's marriage, his thrilled, match-making aunts (who had long ago predicted he would tie the knot) propose opening a bottle of wine, singing, inviting over a few of the neighbors, and having some wedding cake.

He inquires about the whereabouts of the notes for his new anti-marriage book, Mind over Matrimony that Abby had hidden from him. While searching for his papers, Mortimer opens up the window seat where he stumbles upon and discovers the results of his spinster aunts' latest charity act - a dead body. In one of the film's classic scenes, a flabbergasted Mortimer does multiple double-takes and eyeball rolls. He wrongly believes that Teddy, who is happily digging in the cellar (thinking he is digging locks for the Panama Canal), is responsible, and is determined to get him promptly committed in the Happydale Sanitarium: "Teddy's got to go to Happydale now, at once!" When he informs his aunts that Teddy's "killed a man," they react with laughter: "Nonsense!" And off-handedly, when they proudly admit their complicity in first-degree murder of a 'Mr. Hoskins,' he is shocked and mortified to discover their secret - and actually doubts his own sanity: Mortimer: But there's a body in the window seat! Abby: Yes, dear. We know. Mortimer: You know??

A mild-mannered drama critic discovers the shocking truth about his two elderly aunts: The seemingly harmless old ladies have the most disagreeable habit of poisoning their gentlemen callers and burying them in the cellar. One of the all-time great black comedies.

Product Details on September 6, 2000 Format: DVD Verified Purchase Arsenic and Old Lace has been a family Halloween tradition for years. In some ways it might be called the original horror spoof: Two sweet old ladies poison lonely old men as a "charity" and bury them in the cellar, and no sooner does their stable nephew find out about this (while preparing to leave for his honeymoon) than his long-lost homicidal brother returns with a face like Frankenstein's monster. Cary Grant knew his way around a comedy, so it's easy to believe when his character Mortimer grows more and more frazzled throughout the night, jumping from one problem to the next so quickly that he can't even remember he's just been married that day. In his place, juggling four insane relatives (three of them killers), a handful of cops, and two dead bodies, we'd all feel the worse for wear. The pace is quick, almost frantic at times; complications and plot twists come faster than anyone in the movie can handle them. The only characters who aren't perturbed and thrown completely out of their elements by the affair are the rest of the Brewster family, who are all crazy anyway.

The dark comedy genre is full of films that are a little too graphic or disturbing for kids (and even some adults), but this one's not quite so dark, and wildly funny enough to entertain all ages. And no matter how young or old you are, no matter how normal a family you have, you won't be able to help but chuckle when the harried Mortimer takes a breather to explain to his new wife: "Insanity runs in my family.... It practically gallops." The DVD transfer is flawless; the clarity is wonderful. Pop some popcorn and watch it with the whole family.
