1944 • Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane, Josephine Hull
This dark comedy follows a mild-mannered theater critic (Cary Grant) who discovers his
sweet aunts’ murderous secret: they’ve been poisoning lonely old men as a “charitable
act”. With mistaken identities, a lunatic brother, and nonstop laughs, this film delivers
delightful chaos that only grows as the plot thickens. Grant’s comedic timing shines in
this madcap classic.
