Episode 28: Arsenic and Old Lace
Frankly, My Dears - A podcast by Aimee King
For a gallon of elderberry wine, one teaspoon of arsenic, then add half a teaspoon of strychnine, and a pinch of cyanide. "Should have quite a kick." Yes. A kick into two perfectly lovely grandmas' basement graveyard. It's Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) and it serves up some murder and *ahem* killer laughs. We're kicking off our month of Halloween-y movies with this spooky comedy from Cary Grant and Frank Capra.
