Classic Cinema: Arsenic and Old Lace

The Library will show the classic comedy Arsenic and Old Lace on Tuesday, June 19, at 2 p.m. Based on a hit Broadway play, this madcap comedy is a blend of the bizarre and the mundane. Cary Grant plays a drama critic who learns that his two kindly and loveable aunts have been poisoning people with elderberry wine and then two murderers (Peter Lorre and Raymond Massey) move into the aunts’ house with the idea of adding a few corpses of their own.  The movie, which is in black and white, runs for 118 minutes and is not rated.

Free and open to all.
