Summary: "Quite Pixilating"
Comment: Cary Grant is perfect for this part. His erudite speech patterns add to the comedy in a macabre and hilarious manner. The two murderous old ladies' road to "somewhere" is certainly paved with "good intentions." The very best of intentions. Cary deals with one frustration after another and inability of all parties to communicate effectively with each other intensifies the entertainment. Add the complications of romance to the simmering cauldron and we wonder how it can all work out. It is a must-see for those who have not seen this gem.

Summary: I love this movie
Comment: I absolutely love this movie, and the main reason is Cary Grant. My only regret where Cary Grant is concerned is that I wasn't alive when his pictures were actually shown in theaters! But then, I wouldn't get to enjoy them over and over again on my DVDs. No one Hollywood has to offer today can ever expect to hope to touch him for talent or looks. I even have my 12- and 10-year-old nieces begging to watch this and "Bringing Up Baby" over and over again! Even a kid knows quality when they see it.
Anyway, this movie also has a great ensemble cast, and despite the plot revolving around death and murder, is somehow sweet and endearing. Lucky for us, it showcases the beautiful, but very underrated, Priscilla Lane. For some reason, it seems she got lost in the '40's shuffle of beautiful blondes. If you want to catch her again, get "Sabateour", a dilly from Hitchcock, also starring Bob Cummings. I personally think they have more chemistry than she and Grant, if that's possible.

Summary: Its my Halloween Tradition
Comment: I have loved this movie since I was a kid. Every Halloween I put this film in and watch as I have my dinner. Old fashion but great fun. If you enjoy old comedies give this one a try.

You'll die laughing! Frank Capra directs Cary Grant, Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre and stellar cast in the hit Broadway farce about a nutcase family with well-intentioned homicidal tendencies.
