Description
Frank Capra adapted a hit stage play for this marvelous screwball meeting of the madcap and the macabre. On Halloween, newly married drama critic Mortimer Brewster returns home to Brooklyn, where his adorably dotty aunts greet him with love, sweetness5and a grisly surprise: the corpses buried in their cellar. A bugle-playing brother who thinks he2s Teddy Roosevelt, a crazed criminal who2s a dead ringer for Boris Karloff, and a seriously slippery plastic surgeon are among the outr ̌oddballs populating Arsenic and Old Lace, a diabolical delight that only gets funnier as the body count rises.
