Latest DVD Releases Films

If I were to make a list of the best comedy films of all time, I would put "Arsenic and Old Lace" solidly in the #2 spot. 2nd only to
"Bringing Up Baby".
It is non-stop laughs with a family of people that are crazy. Each crazy in a different way. And they play off each other exactly in
exactly the right way to have you laughing so hard that your sides will hurt.
Many call this dark comedy, and to an extent it is. But it doesn`t really play out that way as you watch the film. You never see a
murder or a dead body. All you see are comic results.
The family consists of two elderly sisters and their three nephews. The sisters are two of the nicist old ladies you could possibly
ever run across, except for one tiny detail. They feed arsnic laced wine to lonely old men and bury them in the basement. They see
nothing wrong with this, after all, they look so peaceful once they are dead. They consider it to be one of their charities.
The comedic action starts when Cary Grant, the least crazy nephew, discovers this and tries to figure out what to do about it.
Their are many complications. Including the fact that he has just been married and is supposed to be headed for his honeymoon.
His new bride is quickly becoming as crazy as the rest of the family because her freashly minted groom seems to have all but forgotten
about her in a few short minutes. (She knows nothing of the 12 bodies in the basement)
The other two nephews, one thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt and the other a murderer that is at least sane enough to know he is a murderer,
mix into the farce along with several other semi-nutty characters.
The writing, directing, and acting in this film are all excellent. The comic timing is perfect. What more could you ask of a film?
