Get ready to laugh, listeners, because our final week of our first ever Spooktober covers the hilarious dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), directed by Frank Capra! The film stars Cary Grant as the leading man, Mortimer Brewster, as he deals with marriage, his family, and maybe even a little death! While Capra was mostly known for his more dramatic films, his directorial genius still shines in this film as well, and it may have been a much deserved break from the norm for him. This film also has an adapted screenplay from its historic long run on Broadway, and with that also comes some serious Broadway drama. Sit with us as we ask the question....is this movie a must watch?
