	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- ARSENIC AND OLD LACE
		ARSENIC AND OLD LACE ($25) is a true cinematic gem- a movie that is as funny today as it was when it was released nearly sixty years ago.
		ARSENIC AND OLD LACE opens on Halloween, with the arrival of nephew Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant), who has just married Elaine Harper (Priscilla Lane), the girl who lives next door to his doting aunts.
		Of course, Mortimer is shocked and dumbfounded to discover that his sweet old aunts are serial killers, with a dozen bodies buried in the cellar of their Brooklyn home.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (1944)
		I saw ARSENIC AND OLD LACE for the first time on Halloween night when I was about 12 or 13.
		ARSENIC AND OLD LACE is the story of Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant), who has just gotten married to Elaine Harper (Priscilla Lane), the daughter of his neighbor Reverend Harper (Grant Mitchell).
		"Arsenic and Old Lace," however, was such a big hit that it ran for three years on Broadway.

	DVDFILE.COM: Arsenic And Old Lace review
		ARSENIC AND OLD LACE was based on a Broadway play of the same name.
		The movie was shot in 1941, but could not be released until the enormously successful play finished its run three years later.
		One difference between the play and the movie is that the play contains the hilarious "I'm a bastard!" line (if you've seen the movie you know what I am talking about) that the paragons of virtue on the censorship board prevented from being in the finished film.

	DVD Review - Arsenic And Old Lace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Although they all have a whimsical nostalgic charm today, the characters of old, are just as real as the ones today and with the romanticized portrayal of the 40s and 50s, Capra allows us to regularly sit back and dream about old times where everything seemed to be still alright.
		Well, unless you take the Brewster sisters from "Arsenic And Old Lace," that is. Nice, lovely, polite, charming and forthcoming old ladies on one hand, it soon turns out they have a secret that would break most men, making a mockery of the supposed perfection of this romanticized world.
		Creating an atmospheric movie filled with thunder and lightning, one that has shuddering and grotesque elements that could come right out of a Universal monster movie, and combining these elements with witty light-hearted slapstick comedy rampant with outrageous characters, makes "Arsenic And Old Lace" a memorable classic that truly deserves to be seen.

	Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) - Review - Piddleville (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Based on a hugely popular play by Joseph Kesselring (the movie was actually made in 1941 but not released till the play's Broadway run was through, 1944), it's a movie about two nice old ladies who happen to murder lonely strangers and bury them in their basement.
		The movie is also gem of an example of the wonderful supporting actors Hollywood use to populate its movies with.
		Cary Grant may have been the star but Arsenic and Old Lace pays as much attention to its other characters and this is one of the big reasons it succeeds so well.

	Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) Starring: Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane, Josephine Hull - Three Movie Buffs Review
		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.
		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.
		Yes this movie is a laugh riot but I have always been a little disappointed with the ending.

	Arsenic & Old Lace Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Arsenic and Old Lace is one of the most chaotic and hilarious movies ever made.
		Because of his uproariously unforgettable role in Arsenic and Old Lace, John Alexander ("Teddy Roosevelt" Brewster) will forever respond to the name Teddy Roosevelt when people call to him on the street (I think he is dead now).
		Arsenic and Old Lace is not a crappy who-dunnit (not to be misunderstood, not all who-dunnits are crappy), but a cleverly assembled story utilizing the popular technique of overkill used quite effectively today by directors like Peter Jackson who create humorously gory horror movies that conservative countries like Finland ban without question.

	DVDown Under Review - Arsenic and Old Lace
		Arsenic and Old Lace started as a stageplay and was brought to the big screen in the early 1940’s.
		Arsenic moves at a frantic pace, even for a 2 hour movie, which is quite a lengthy running time given the films era.
		Arsenic is a true classic and is pure entertainment from start to finish with terrific performances all around.

		Upon his discovery of the dead body Mortimer tries his best to shield his poor old aunts from the shock, only to be the one shocked when he learns that they are the ones responsible.
		So the two, sweet, old, completely crazed, ladies put those poor old gentlemen out of their misery with a little arsenic and elderberry wine.
		The movie is a treasure trove of great character performances, Peter Lorre is almost innocently deranged as Jonathan's hapless accomplice, Dr. Einstein.

	ARSENIC AND OLD LACE
		ARSENIC AND OLD LACE is one of my favorites.
		ARSENIC is filled with both witty dialogue and a great deal of physical comedy, which blends hysterically together to show you a day in the life of an uptight drama critic terrified of marriage.
		ARSENIC AND OLD LACE may be somewhat dated and completely unbelievable, but it's also a hysterical fl comedy classic.

		"Arsenic and Old Lace" film adaptation is very close to the actual Broadway play and is a great classic to have in your DVD library.
		This movie is perfect, and if you haven't seen it, you are in for the best time of your life.
		"Arsenic and Old Lace" is, by any standard, an offbeat, rather "dark" comedy since two of its characters, portrayed by Josephine Hull and Jean Adair (from the original Broadway cast), are actually murderers.

		The tale of the two Miss Brewsters who poison lonely old men as a charity act is so familiar that I don't need to summarize it again.
		The movie is a typical fast, funny 1940's comedy (it is based on the play by Joseph Kesselring, which I've also had the pleasure of seeing).
		The movie is specifically identified as taking place on Hallowe'en (October 31), but opens with a Brooklyn Dodgers baseball scene.

		The play is a farce revolving around Mortimer Brewster, a theatre-hating drama critic who must deal with his crazy family and local police in Brooklyn New York, as he debates whether to go through with marrying the woman he loves.
		The basic plot matches that of the movie adaptation, with a few minor changes in background.
		When Kesselring taught at Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas, he lived in a boarding house called the Goerz House, and many of the features of its living room are reflected in the Brewster sisters' living room, where the action of the play is set.

		Grant spends most of the movie making a variety of faces that vacillate between flummoxed and exasperated and though he reportedly didn't care for his performance in the picture, he's the one reason to watch it.
		I don't know, maybe this sort of thing was hilarious in the 1940s when you didn't have everyone from six year old kids to eighty year-old broads whacking everyone and their brother, but watching this, I wasn't thinking that the idea of a nice old ladies being a pair of serial killers was instantly hilarious.
		The old gals use him to their advantage by letting him go down in the basement and dig lochs for the Panama Canal which double as graves.

	Arsenic and Old Lace - Reviews on RateItAll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It seems as though whenever a lonely old fellow with no family answers their ad, they sit him down and offer him a glass of their own special elderberry wine--a prime ingredient of which is arsenic (with just a pinch of strychnine).
		The poor old gentleman is then given a proper burial in the cellar, with full christain services, by their youngest nephew, who believes himself to be President Roosevelt, the cellar to be Panama, and the unfortunate corpse to be that of a yellow fever victim.
		The movie is staged and filmed like a play and does not use the movie medium as well as it should.

		Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) is a frenzied, hilarious, madcap fl 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.
		Rice and old shoes, carry you over the threshold, Niagara Falls, all the silly tripe I've made fun of for years.

	Movie Info for Arsenic and Old Lace on MSN Movies
		Arsenic and Old Lace is director Frank Capra's spin on the classic Joseph Kesselring stage comedy, which concerns the sweet old Brewster sisters (Josephine Hull, Jean Adair), beloved in their genteel Brooklyn neighborhood for their many charitable acts.
		One charity which the ladies don't advertise is their ongoing effort to permit lonely bachelors to die with smiles on their faces--by serving said bachelors elderberry wine spiked with arsenic.
		Though the movie rights for Arsenic and Old Lace were set up so that the film could not be released until 1944, director Capra shot the film quickly and inexpensively in 1941, so that his family could subsist on his $100,000 salary while he was serving in World War II.
