Synopsis
Two sweet spinster aunts offer lonely gentlemen elderberry wine laced with arsenic—the kindest form of charity. Nephew Mortimer uncovers the bodies amid his engagement. Enter his brother “Teddy Roosevelt” and a Boris Karloff-lookalike criminal and pandemonium erupts. Joseph Kesselring’s Arsenic and Old Lace is a dark comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.
