The Criterion cover for Arsenic and Old Lace is pretty iconic now with the little puppets and the purple backdrop and the artist, F. Ron Miller even did an article about how he workshopped the idea with Criterion’s art director, Eric Skillman. You can find the article right here:

Arsenic and Old Lace (Movie Review) | Fun & Captivating

When I went to see Arsenic and Old Lace I didn't expect to be as delightfully entertained as I was, there's a reason why it's a classic movie fan favorite. Check my review #ArsenicAndOldLace #ClassicComedy #FilmReview #CaryGrant #ClassicFilm #MustWatch

Frank Capra (Director)CASTCary GrantPriscilla LaneRaymond MasseyJosephine HullJean AdairJohn AlexanderPeter LorreBased on the play “Arsenic and Old Lace” by Joseph Kesselring Review This was my first Cary Grant movie. I kind of knew the name, I’d heard about him, even though I thought his first name was Gary. This 1944 movie is amazing, I went in blind, I knew the time of the showing – yes I…

Y’all ever wondered how the Hungarian dub for Arsenic and Old Lace sounds. How Peter would sound if he actually knew how to speak the language of his home country (because he was born here, our side, not Austria, Rózsahegy is ours… or was…). Well… the dub is certainly… something… I gotta admit I only tried to watch the dub once, but the vid kept buffering so I gave up, I didn’t even get to hear my mans speak the first time around. Also the movie just cuts back to the English voices at one point and then switches back. It’s a feature not a bug~ <3

If anyone has recommendations for more songs to put on these playlists, do let me know and I'll take it into consideration. I've made a playlist for each of the Brewsters and Elaine; I believe they're all public! For the sake of space I only included Jonathan, Einstein, and Martha and Abby.

The best part is so many of the guys and gals in this movie skitter and scuttle at some point. If Peter Lorre weren't the subject of the post, who knows which character this tag is referencing?

Jonathan crosses a room with all the grace of a crazed antelope as he tries to beat Mortimer to the window seat.

Aunt Abby and Aunt Martha have some sort of Three Billy Goats Gruff trip-trappery going on when they get excited.

Einstein meanders to and fro like a sleepy puppy and then books it out the door when it really counts. He follows Jonathan as if they're tethered together.

Mortimer is CONSTANTLY running. He has absolutely no chill, and not even a whole armchair can stand in his way.

Teddy Brewster fucking charges, which doesn't count as a skitter or scuttle but is still worth a mention.

And because Mr. Witherspoon is played by Edward Everett Horton, he scuttles and skitters inherently.

finally watched arsenic and old lace (1944) and man, if peter lorre doesn't win that scrungly poll, i don't know what to tell you...
