Arsenic and Old Lace is a dark comedy classic by Joseph Kesselring that follows the delightfully twisted Brewster family. Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic, thinks his biggest problem is proposing to his girlfriend—until he discovers that his sweet, elderly aunts have been poisoning lonely old men and burying them in the basement. Add in a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt and another who’s a murderous criminal with a plastic-surgeon sidekick, and chaos ensues! It’s a hilarious mix of murder, mayhem, and family madness.
