My wife and I wanted to watch something together, looked over the movies available for immediate viewing on Netflix, and chose this.
My wife enjoys movies that combine humor with a murder-related plot. She loved Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry. I can find them off-putting, their pacing often seeming off as I found to be the case in Charade and The Trouble with Harry. Arsenic and Old Lace, however, I found hilarious. The individual performances gave each moment some sense of urgency. Cary Grant combined mad-cap-itude and gracefulness, physical and moral, in the way that no one else could—have I ever seen him in such a broad, and not-self-ironic performance? He is a wonder and a joy. The plot is delightfully layered with broad but delightful twists of dramatic irony.
