ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (1944) Movie Reaction! | FIRST TIME WATCHING!

[@Rmlohner]

In the original play, Jonathan was actually played by Boris Karloff himself. Unfortunately, the film was put into production so hard on its heels that Karloff still had commitments to it and couldn't do the role there. So they compromised by getting Raymond Massey, who had some resemblance to him (increased further with makeup), even though his acting persona was very different. He was best known for playing Abraham Lincoln in several plays and films.

[@michaelceraso1977]

omg you are the 1st to view this madcap comedy, Cary Grant thought he was way over the top playing his character but i think it just makes it that much funnier. That scene when the cops come in and Massey is ready to confess and then all hell breaks loose is still a riot to me. I saw this on the late show one summer during my time off from high school when we had a channel that exclusively played these classics after midnight ,and I laughed so much until 230 am

[@cathleencooks748]

@@michaelceraso1977 2nd one to react to this movie. Mia Tiffany who only reacts to older movies including some silent ones like Wings reviewed this movie over a year ago. If you like older movies check out her channel. Before she watches the movie she gives you some background on it. Excellent reactor with content very few have if any have done. One being the original The Magnificent Seven which no one else has reacted to.

@@cathleencooks748 Mia is great.

[@vapoet]

I think many young folks have no clue that movies from the 30s and 40s can be so delightfully twisted. They often think that that morbid humor started in the 1980s. While this may be the darkest comedy of them all, the amount of total bonkers of the era is completely missed. I'm not even going to list all the great films of the era. They need to be seen to be believed,

[@kcirtapelyk6060]

The average moviegoer today has the attention span of an ADD crackhead. They generally don’t tend to appreciate good acting, good dialogue, and good storytelling and are only entertained by explosions, toilet humor, graphic violence, and tits.

[@c.b.barlow]

When I worked as a caregiver I got introduced to TCM (turner classic movies). LoL

[@simonorourke4465]

This is an awsome film, another great example of a very funny much older film with a twisted sense of humour is Kind Hearts and Coranets by ealing studios.

[@galandirofrivendell4740]

When this play is produced on the stage, some theater companies have the 12 "corpses" come up from the cellar to take their bows during the curtain call instead of the cast.

[@Palmieres]

Cary Grant's face as the aunties retell what they're doing is just gold. A classically handsome man throwing the best WTF face in existence is just perfectly distilled comedy.

[@cathleencooks748]

A billion thanks for reacting to this classical movie. It holds a special place in my heart as I share a birthday with Teddy Roosevelt. A great follow up movie to this one would be His Girl Friday another Cary Grant screwball comedy with Rosalind Russell. It has a 99% rating on Rotten Tomato so please consider watching it.

[@vercoda9997]

I hope you don't tackle stairs like That particular 'Teddy' did.

[@Rmlohner]

If that line "I'm the son of a sea cook" feels a little awkward, it's because the original play ends with Mortimer gleefully shouting "I'm a bastard!" But of course that would never fly in the era of the Hays Code.

[@timbuktu8069]

"Son of a sea cook" is a sailing ship euphemism for bastard.

[@fauxrowsdower7610]

good ol Hays Code ruining things wherever it goes!

[@najhoant]

Damn, I would have loved to hear Cary Grant read the original line

[@mkozlinski]

The fact that Mortimer was illegitimate child was already barely passable for the censors. Medical law of Holywood at the time: illegitimate children die at birth. Preferably with their mothers.

[@shainewhite2781]

This is a hilarious dark comedy, and Cary Grant tries to not lose his sanity throughout! Lol!!

[@johncampbell756]

The Aunts killed 11. The first was a heart attack.

[@randallshuck2976]

For another classic light comedy try "Harvey" starring Jimmy Stewart. It is also a slightly wacky farce with some excellent actors and actresses outdoing themselves.

[@lisakovanen1975]

Yes!

[@lindanicholson950]

Josephine Hull who plays one of the aunts in this movie plays Jimmy Stewart's sister in Harvey. It is one of my favorite movies.

[@joem1480]

Harvey is referenced in "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit"

[@gggooding]

*BEST* serial killer movie - for ever and ever and ever.

[@Jrmrmrc]

Mortimer's plan was to blame all the murders on Teddy. In theory, if Teddy was already committed to an asylum, a soft insanity plea would be a natural conclusion. His aunts commiting themselves as well was a happy accident.

[@maximax7056]

I always saw it he wanted Teddy out of the house so he couldn't dig any more graves for the ladies.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

@@maximax7056 not at all. Dunno how you got to that conclusion. They'd still keep killing even if he didn't dig the graves.

[@c.b.barlow]

I love Peter Lorre. Drama, comedy, and of course, horror. LoL

[@jeffmartin1026]

So glad you have gotten around to seeing this absolute classic of a film. Next up should be Harvey, a much lighter comedy. I love that no one reacts to the name Dr. Einstein in the movie. Jack Carter is such a good character actor - he's splendid in pretty much anything he is in.

[@domenicdurante966]

[@melenatorr]

As a second-generation Brooklynite, I am, of course, obligated to love this movie and the play it comes from. No hardship for me! The author of this piece of madness, Joseph Kesselring, started out writing a serious thriller, but as you can see, it ended up just a little differently. Notice that the movie is filled with bodies but, except for a silhouette, we never see one. This was a rush job, as many of the people involved in the production were more anxious to start service of one kind or another in the war. Frank Capra and Cary Grant both ended up disappointed in the final product. Josephine Hull (Aunt Abby), Jean Adair (Aunt Martha) and Johh Alexander (Teddy) were all from the original stage production on Broadway, accompanied by the actual Boris Karloff as Jonathan. Karloff was obligated to remain in NYC for the play and the movie was made during its run, hence the reason he is replaced by the remarkable Raymond Massey. You owe it to yourself to watch Josephine Hull in a very different role in "Harvey", with James Stewart. Aside from these, the cast is filled with greats: Peter Lorre as Dr. Einstein, Priscilla Lane as Elaine (one of a family of acting sisters), Jack Carson as O'Hara (you don't know him yet, I'm sure, but you will love him in everything he's in). Edward Everett Horton as Dr. Witherspoon, who acted with Grant in "Holiday", and who you may know from many animation voice-overs; and James Gleason as the Lieutenant who's "been without sleep for forty-eight hours", who shines in his small space on screen, and who also acted with Grant in "The Bishop's Wife". This movie was my introduction to both Gleason and Carson.

[@NathanWert]

I've played three different characters on stage from this play. Teddy, Officer Brophy and Mr. Gibbs. Lots of fun.

[@SarahMaeBea]

I was in this play in high school!! I was one of the aunties. It was so much fun. Love this movie.

I want to play Mortimer on stage as much as anything in my life.

[@patticrichton1135]

My high school also did "Arsenic and Old Lace" in 1963. I wasn't in it, but I went each night that it ran. My classmates did a PHENOMENAL job on it. It turnes out that this is a popular play for high schools to do.

[@terryevitts6118]

I played Dr. Einstein in high school. I loved it! The director pointed to the kid who played Mortimer and to me and said, "I feel sorry for you because everyone in the audience has seen Cary Grant play your part and everyone it the audience has seen Peter Lorre play your part." Tough acts to follow.

[@Jack80300]

Comedies from this era is the best, i can't remember the last comedy released that was funny

'The Philadelphia Story' with Jimmy Stewart & Katharine Hepburn "His Girl Friday" with Rosalind Russell. "To Catch a Thief" Hitchcock movie with Grace Kelly.

[@beansfriend7033]

I think I accidentally downvoted you by mistake. I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, I just had fat thumbs there for a moment.

Ironically, Grant hated his performance because it was too over the top, IHO. I couldn’t disagree more. He never went to that extreme in anything else, that I know of and that’s why I love it.

It really is bizarre that Frank Capra did a black comedy like this, when his typical work was sentimental verging on corny movies like It's a Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. I have no idea what put this one on his radar, but I'm so glad it got there, because he nails it.

[@kcirtapelyk6060]

A lot of Capras early films were more dark and risqué for their time. For example, The Bitter Tea of General Yen in 1933 starring Barbara Stanwyck, is about an American missionary abducted by a Chinese warlord and fall in love.

[@geraldmcboingboing7401]

Thank you for reacting to his great film, Sam!!! If you can get a chance, check out Holiday (1938), The Bishop's Wife (1947), His Girl Friday (1940), and Mr. Blandings Builds Hs Dream House (1948). They's all great too.

[@ElliotNesterman]

_His Girl Friday_ is one of the finest of the screwball comedies. It also has among the fastest dialogue of all American movies. Howard Hawks, the director wanted it to have the fastest dialogue of any film made up until that time, and specifically faster than _The Front Page_ (1931), the first adaptation of the 1928 Broadway comedy of the same title. ( _His Girl Friday_ was the second adaptation of the _The Front Page._ )

[@arturocostantino623]

But Bringing Up Baby and The Philadelphia Story are even better.

[@enchantedwooddesigns3462]

Monkey Business and The Bobby Soxer are good too.

And The Awful Truth and Topper (both 1937), Bringing Up Baby (1938), My Favorite Wife (1940), The Talk of the Town (1942) and I Was A Male War Bride (1949). All comedy gems with Grant.

We quote this movie in our home. When we go down to the basement, we're going down to Panama. When we head to the attic, we call "Charge!" We even sing the little "there is a Happy Dale" ditty when we mess something up in a weird way. It's such a classic!

Welcome to screwball comedy. The 30’s and 40’s were rife with them. Some good. Some bad.

[@WolfsDE]

Some other Cary Grant films you should check out.... Topper His Girl Friday Penny Seranade The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer (with Shirley Temple) Amazing Adventure But I will always love Arsenic and Old Lace. Amazing cast, well acted. Funny in spite of the obvious dark elements and even with the Brewster family being insane, you feel like they would be good friends. At least the aunts and Teddy. Which is hard to pull off with being serial killers. But they do have that sweetness and gentleness that makes you think they would be good people. Just don't drink the wine. Lol.

[@agenttheater5]

10:36 Yes but as they pointed out in the play, 12 bodies would mean a lot of paperwork and they know from their friends in the police force how much they hate to go through that paperwork. So they figure the police won't want to do anything. Plus as far as they're concerned what they're doing is a charity so they assume everyone else will view it the same way, that's why they can't understand why Mortimer is reacting the way he is.

[@kp22kc]

Great reaction! You took it just the way you should have. Couple of interesting facts....this was filmed in 1941, but they waited to release it until the Broadway run of the play was over. Grant hated his performance and thought Jimmy Stewart would have been a better fit. I don't agree...his manic performance was just what was called for. I've watched many performances of the play on KZbin (mostly high school) and none are as fast paced as the movie and that kind of ruins it a bit. The only thing about slowing it down is you get some of the funnier lines where in the movie they might slip by. This is a movie I used to set the alarm for and get up and watch at 1am or 2am (before VCRs.) Have loved it since I first saw it. My favorite Cary Grant film and he has made a bunch of classics. Glad you enjoyed it!

It was a late night showing on PBS (back in the 80’s when PBS used to do that), it was already in progress so I didn’t know what the title of the movie was, but I really enjoyed it. A few years later my Grandparents watched to show me movie that they thought I’d enjoy. As we started watching it I looked kinda familiar but I couldn’t place it. Then Johnathan and Dr Einstein showed up and BOOM I recognized it immediately as the movie I really liked but didn’t know the title of, and from that day forward I knew this movie by title and plot; and anytime some one says that classic movies can’t be good I tell them about Arsenic & Old Lace.

[@ElliotNesterman]

_Arsenic and Old Lace_ (the play) is a perennial favorite of high school drama departments, or at least it used to be. As staged it is a one-set interior, which is good for high school stages, and there are usually enough old furnishings kicking about in prop rooms to dress the set pretty easily. And, of course, it is an hysterically funny script.

Great reaction! This is the movie that introduced me to Cary Grant, so it holds a special place in my heart. For another screwball comedy, try Philadelphia Story (with Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and Jimmy Stewart). Which reminds me, you should also consider watching Rear Window. It's very different from this one, except that it also has legendary leads (Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart), but with a tense, mysterious atmosphere and it's just sooo good!
