cary grant shows all seven stages of grief on his face in the span of 60 seconds and can do more with his left eyebrow than every actor in hollywood put together

There aren't enough movies about sweet, murderous spinster aunts.
MariaMar 14, 2019cary grant is extraordinarily hot and makes a series of extraordinarily confused faces over the course of this film. please watch it immediately

- Orlando Ramone lovedArsenic and Old Lace
A surprisingly funny and fresh Halloween comedy by Frank Capra. Cary Grant is excellent as usual.
dre lovedArsenic and Old Lacecan’t even say how many times i’ve seen this movie in my lifetime, family favorite. i still laugh every single time i watch it, and enjoy every single second of it being on screen.
Elijah Hurewitz-Ravitch is "meh" onArsenic and Old Laceamazing premise. but it’s a little hard to follow and not and funny as it could be—100% meant for the stage and doesn’t translate wonderfully to the screen.
