DVD & Blu-ray: ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (1944) - Criterion Collection

Arsenic And Old Lace 1944 New On Bluray Dvd Criterion

Product 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 (Cary Grant, cutting loose in a hilariously harried performance) returns home to Brooklyn, where his adorably dotty aunts (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair, who both starred in the Broadway production) greet him with love, sweetness . . . and a grisly surprise: the corpses buried in their cellar.

A bugle-playing brother (John Alexander) who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, a crazed criminal (Raymond Massey) who’s a dead ringer for Boris Karloff, and a seriously slippery plastic surgeon (Peter Lorre) are among the outrĂ© oddballs populating Arsenic and Old Lace, a diabolical delight that only gets funnier as the body count rises.
