Especially for 1944 Arsenic and Old Lace is INSANE. Its feral. Two kind old maids are serial killers with a higher body count than Norman Bates, Cary Grant is on the edge of insanity, Peter Lorre is there, it has a sub plot concerning a man who thinks he's Theodore Roosevelt and becomes catatonic if he tries being someone else, they couldn't get Boris Karloff to reprise his role in the play so they made a guy up to look like Boris Karloff and shot all his scenes like a horror movie, it opens with a fist fight at a Dodgers game and it has nothing to do with the plot. 10/10 masterpiece.
