    Arsenic and Old Lace - Cary Grant Frank Capra Classic
    Now I think if my husband was writing this review he would probably give it an excellent rating. He has a collection of over 600 classic movies. You have to have a certain sense of humor to rate this an excellent, so I am going with good. I think this would be called dark or black humor. The story is about two sweet (albeit crazy) old ladies that live in Brooklyn & have a habit of poisoning men, thus the name Arsenic & Old Lace. Gary Grant plays thier newlywed nephew who upon his arrival to tell them his good news discovers that this family's basement holds a murderously funny secret. These funny old ladies have a nutty nephew that thinks he is actually Teddy Roosevelt. After they murder each man they have "Teddy" go to the basement & dig a hole for a new locke for the Panama Canal. These become the gravesites of these men. Pretty crazy stuff! The movie also stars Raymond Massey & Peter Lorre & was directed by Frank Capra. If you like quirky comedies you might just love this one.
