Description: Frank Capra adapted a hit stage play for this marvelous screwball meeting of the madcap and the macabre. On Halloween, newly married drama critic Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant, cutting loose in a hilariously harried performance) returns home to Brooklyn, where his adorably dotty aunts (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair, who both starred in the Broadway production) greet him with love, sweetness . . . and a grisly surprise: the corpses buried in their cellar. A bugle-playing brother (John Alexander) who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, a crazed criminal (Raymond Massey) who’s a dead ringer for Boris Karloff, and a seriously slippery plastic surgeon (Peter Lorre) are among the outré oddballs populating Arsenic and Old Lace, a diabolical delight that only gets funnier as the body count rises.BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew, restored 4K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackNew audio commentary featuring Charles Dennis, author of There’s a Body in the Window Seat!: The History of “Arsenic and Old Lace”Radio adaptation from 1952 starring Boris KarloffTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic David CairnsProduct detailsAspect Ratio : 1.37:1MPAA rating : NR (Not Rated)Package Dimensions : 8.5 x 5.35 x 0.65 inches; 5.92 OuncesDirector : Capra, FrankMedia Format : Blu-rayRelease date : October 11, 2022Actors : Grant, Cary, Massey, Raymond, Lane, Priscilla, Lorre, Peter, Carson, JackStudio : The Criterion CollectionCountry of Origin : USANumber of discs : 1
