Arsenic And Old Lace (1944) ****

Frank Capra’s Arsenic And Old Lace (1944) is a delightfully morbid screwball farce with shades of horror and noir and a wonderful cast. At its center is Cary Grant in a brilliant slapstick performance—full of dynamic range and marvelous facial expressions. Capra never lets up the madcap pace in this fun absurdist romp.
