Constance Klosterman favorite scene in Arsenic and Old Lace

[@kennethdesmondmosley1075]

I’ll never understand why Cary grant didn’t like his performance in this. Film. He is pitch perfect. Timing is perfect too.

[@swcosmos1]

Because he really wasn't that good. More over the top than required. Not truly a comic actor. And because the play had been on Broadway for like 100 years, the public had many actors to compare him to. The guy was a very controlling freak, actually. Handsome for sure. But that's what I've read.

[@ccanimalrescuelogs487]

One of the funniest well acted best movies ever!

[@susansokas5699]

Comic Genius performance by the elegant and sophisticated Cary Grant. I love his early career movies that truly showed his talent for physical comedy, his facial expressions are priceless, they always make me laugh out loud.

[@mistertrona]

It's never actually been Halloween (each year) unless I've been able to see this movie! Wonderful, wonderful stuff. My brother played "the son of a sea cook" in a community play when we were kids. 8^)

[@onetrueslave]

I'm nearly crying. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

[@stevenhosea4849]

Jace Goodness. Goodness

[@ChrisOnStage2]

I must've seen the stage play four times and NEVER have I seen any actor come up to the performance level of Cary Grant. How tragic is that!!??

[@girdog11]

They ought not to make such pictures frightening. SAYS THE MURDERERS. That's why this movie is brilliant with its ironic humor.

We never dreamed you peek.

[@yamdansky]

We put it in wine because it's less noticeable, but when it's in tee it has a distinct odor!

[@kijekuyo9494]

"We never dreamed you'd peek!" I do think Grant overacted in some parts of this film, but he played this scene perfectly. I think he pulled off his mix of gradual realization, shock, and concern in a way few actors could do as well.

[@oulala99]

Brilliant movie, genius!

[@TheSandra984]

love love love it!

[@CarlHenrik125]

We put this up as a play in the local theatre 5 years ago. It was a huge success, and probably the most fun we've ever had. I was just in charge of the techincals (audio and lights), but it was still a lot of fun, though :)

[@delin62]

Arsenic and Old Lace stands as the most performed play in community theater. I started my theater career in a production as Officer Brophy (Irish accent included.) Years later in another production, I was Dr. Einstein (a la Peter Lorre.)

[@jshnicl]

interesting to note that cary grant thought this was the worst performance of his career.

[@fever_spike]

hsojlocin Yes-he felt his performance was “too terribly over the top”...and it actually low-key devastates me knowing he felt that way about it, as I think he nailed the role of Mortimer.

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

Such a great film 🎥 👏 ...1st time I saw this, I was floored/amazed 😀 so excellent on many levels

[@Gabbey1992]

This movies was pure genius!!!

[@dwaynethomas7205]

THIS FILM IS A DOUBLE CLASSIS WITH A BAG OF CHIPS OR IF YOU PREFER A BAG OF POPCORN ON THE SIDE

[@william3231954]

Classic movie,, Cary Grant is at his best in this

[@barbaraedwards601]

She said so casual!!

[@IcarusLime]

Hey, mister.

[@IZEASGT]

1:52 got HUGE laughs at the performance I attended. Good times.

[@firetopman]

They could've made this into a series and called it Dexter's Aunts.

[@pianoflames]

when the curtain goes up...the first thing you see is a dead body, the next thing....wooah!...hey mista...(and the rest of it writes itself)

[@GamingStates]

Doing this scene for school.

[@edwardryan4480]

Extremely dangerous Johnny

[@carolblizard3543]

Such a great film!!

[@viska3154]

"This is first degree !"

[@michaeljuliano8839]

It was a play first, so there was very little originality in the movie, but I agree that it's genius.

[@jacklyndrevdahl3661]

I love this movie

[@xmario3sonicp785]

Wow...

[@Miranda9VM]

[@zeldasmith6154]

Cary Grant took risks as an actor.
