Review Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)

Possibly my favourite Grant comedy. Released in 1944 but actually filmed in 1941 (they waited for the stage play to finish its run).

Grant always thought his performance was too hammy but that's precisely what it needed.

This too is my favorite Carey Grant comedy, perhaps my favorite performance of his. period.

I certainly agree with your statement about Grant's performance. It drove the movie.

Love it to bits!
Give me a wet Saturday afternoon with this, + Harvey + Adam's Rib and I might just laugh and cry myself silly....
