Description
|
|
|
|
This was the last movie made by Frank Capra, in 1941, before he enlisted in the U.S. Army to shoot documentaries until the end of the war. Finally released in 1944, this frantic black comedy, based on Joseph Kesselring's hit play, chronicles the murderous escapades of two Brooklyn spinsters (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair) who poison gentleman callers with arsenic-laced elderberry wine. Cary Grant stars as Mortimer Brewster, the nephew who gets wind of their hobby; Raymond Massey replaces Boris Karloff (who played the role on Broadway) as Brewster's villainous brother Jonathan; and Peter Lorre and Edward Everett Horton provide comedic support.
