You'll die laughing! Frank Capra directs Cary Grant, Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre and stellar cast in the hit Broadway farce about a nutcase family with well-intentioned homicidal tendencies.

Summary: I love this movie
Comment: I absolutely love this movie, and the main reason is Cary Grant. My only regret where Cary Grant is concerned is that I wasn't alive when his pictures were actually shown in theaters! But then, I wouldn't get to enjoy them over and over again on my DVDs. No one Hollywood has to offer today can ever expect to hope to touch him for talent or looks. I even have my 12- and 10-year-old nieces begging to watch this and "Bringing Up Baby" over and over again! Even a kid knows quality when they see it.
Anyway, this movie also has a great ensemble cast, and despite the plot revolving around death and murder, is somehow sweet and endearing. Lucky for us, it showcases the beautiful, but very underrated, Priscilla Lane. For some reason, it seems she got lost in the '40's shuffle of beautiful blondes. If you want to catch her again, get "Sabateour", a dilly from Hitchcock, also starring Bob Cummings. I personally think they have more chemistry than she and Grant, if that's possible.

Summary: Funny but uneven classic
Comment: Easily one of Capra's darkest films, much of this comedy is a great example of madcap filmmaking from the golden age. Grant turned his regular screwball energy up to 11 for this one.
My only problem is that the frenetic pacing comes to a grinding halt when Grant disappears for twenty minutes and Massey and Lorre become the focus of the picture. It turns into a middling thriller for most of the second act. The attempt at ominous posturing is merely plodding. And I've never grasped the fascination with Lorre's wheezy, one-note schtick. Relying on him to supply "humor" in the thriller section doesn't work with me. At all.
