Pros: Cary Grant, Peter Lorre Cons: Over the top story
Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) This story is a screwball comedy by Frank Capra, who probably made the most memorable of them all It Happened One Night as well as several sentimental favorites like Mr Smith Goes to ...
Pros: Great premise, screwball comedy Cons: Too long, too much fluff
Another day, another classic and this time it’s 1944’s Arsenic and Old Lace. Directed by Frank Capra (It’s A Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington), the movie was actually filmed in 1941 but waited 3 more years for the Broadway ...
Arsenic and Old Lace is absolutely one of the funniest films I have ever seen. This film not only entertains. It makes the viewer laugh out loud all the way through. Directed and produced by the celebrated Frank Capra, it is an...

Pros: Hilarious screen adaptation, with all the right ingredients, from Grant to Teddy Roosevelt Cons: None that I can think of: See the black and white version if possible
If ever you need cheering up, this movie would be a great one to keep handy. If your sense of humor is slightly twisted, all the more reason! This is a Frank Capra Classic movie, and is nothing but fun from start to finish.
Pros: wonderfully adapted for the screen. perfect casting Cons: cons? you have to be kidding!
Arsenic and Old Lace was a childhood favorite that I rediscovered while living overseas. Directed by Frank Capra, it's a dark and madcap comedy which involves insanity, murder, matrimony and the rules of being a good host or hostess.
Pros: Fifteen words wouldn't even be a fair beginning. Cons: Fifteen words are required, but I can't think of ANY
I mean, I wrote a review of Arsenic and Old Lace when I first joined Epinions, but I was still timid and uncertain of how much could be said. The end result was that the review, though good and generally rated as 'very helpful,' was shamefully ...
Pros: Surprisingly funny '40s black comedy; good actors, Cary Grant in particular Cons: Seen today, its view of mental illness is more offensive than its view of murder
Frank Capra has become hallowed in film history as the director of films that champion the average American and the common cause. Of course, that's only if you haven't seen his film version of the Broadway black-comedy hit Arsenic and Old Lace,...
Pros: Fabulous old Black and White Jewel Cons: None
"Arsenic and Old Lace" is one of my favorite films and I see it often. It is the most wonderfully funny story and a fast pace romp into the ridiculous. The film was based on the broadway hit of the same name. Interestingly enough, the movie was...
Pros: An amazingly clever and wacky comedy with a great cast. Cons: None.
Being a huge Cary Grant fan I've tried to watch as many of his films as possible. ARSENIC AND OLD LACE is one of my favorites. The goings-on in this film are even more wacky than in his other screwball comedy classic BRINGING UP BABY and believe me,...
Pros: Hugely funny,done in the style of a farce,highly entertaining,innocent Cons: May seem a bit dated to some , black and white , mono
I have watched Arsenic and Old Lace many times since my childhood. It is one of those films that I just never tire of watching, despite its age and the fact that it is in black and white. The plot is just so amusing and the characters incongruous and ...
Pros: Cary Grant, Peter Lorre, Jack Carson, Josephine Hull Cons: No Boris Karloff
Don't get me wrong. I love this movie. I just can't get past the fact that Boris Karloff did not do the part written for him in the original production. It's hard to believe, but Cary Grant thought of this as his worst film, and yet his comic...
Pros: Great cast, insane plot and huge amounts of laughs Cons: none
This classic, other than some Abbott and Costello movies, is quite possibly the funniest movie ever made. I watch it religiously every year, just before Halloween, after all, that is the time it takes place. For decades now a member of my family...
Pros: Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane and the spinster aunts. Cons: None
"Arsenic and Old Lace" was made in 1944 by Frank Capra ("It's a Wonderful Life", "Pocket Full of Miracles" and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"). Starring Cary Grant ("North by Northwest",...
