(7 mins, Color, 35mm, Courtesy LC, permission Warner Bros.) Warner Brothers' social conscience filmmaking takes on a black twist as two timid old ladies mix a potent potion of elderberry wine, arsenic, and a "pinch of cyanide" in their humanistic crusade to relieve lonely old men of their loneliness. This hysterical adaptation of Joseph Kesserling's popular Broadway play borders on hysterics, as the facade of quiet, middle-class life is ripped away to expose a household of lunatics. Besides the murderous aunts, there is cousin Jonathan (Raymond Massey) who is collecting his own share of corpses; Dr. Einstein (Peter Lorre) whose surgical error has transformed Jonathan into a Frankenstein look-alike; and Mortimer Brewster (wonderfully performed by Cary Grant), a New York drama critic who is the voice of (diminishing) reason amidst the madness.-Kathy GeritzPreserved from original negative.
