Synopsis Mirthful Murder Cary-ed Off In Slapstick, Slap-Happy Style! Cary Grant and a stellar cast romp through this classic farce based on Joseph Kesselring's 1941 Broadway hit and breezily directed by Frank Capra. Frazzled drama critic Mortimer Brewster (Grant) has two aunts (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair) who ply lonely geezers with poisoned libations, one sociopathic brother (Raymond Massey) who looks like Boris Karloff, one bonkers brother (John Alexander) who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt, one impatient new bride (Priscilla Lane) -- and only one night to make it turn out all right. In this circus' center ring is Grant, twisting his face into a clown's gallery of flabbergasted reactions and transforming his natural athletic grace into a rubber-legged comic ballet. You'll die laughing.

It is great for kids and adults. This is a movie you will not soon forget.   more >> Customer Review 1941 Classic on DVD...Must have for any fan of comedy! - 3.75 out of 5  (6/6/2001) This has to be one of my all time favorite movies...and to have it on DVD finally is outstanding. Cary Grant is Mortimer Brewster, a self-proclaimed bachelor who decides to get married. The only problem is that he has come home to his aunts' house to find that they are "helping" lonely old men by poisoning them with aresenic and giving them a fine christian burial in their basement. Insanity runs in the Brewster family, "it practically gallops"; and Mortimer has to deal with his aunts, his br   more >>
