Arsenic And Old Lace (1944) ***1/2

Finally got around to watching this. One of the few classic Cary Grant films that I hadn't seen yet. Fun, loopy performance from Grant and great direction from Capra. I always love seeing Peter Lorre as well. Amazingly, the only other film I've seen that Capra directed is It's A Wonderful Life.
It's interesting how films based on plays, like this one, often actually feel like plays (staging, choice of shots, etc).
