Peter Lorre rocks. Okay? Let’s just get that out there as a ground rule and move on.
Peter Lorre HELLA rocks in Arsenic and Old Lace (IMDb)
I went to see it last night at the amazing Stanford Theatre. It’s funny, I’ve seen the movie a zillion times, but I still laugh hysterically at all the funny parts. Cary Grant is very good, Raymond Massey is spot on (although I still am enraged that Boris Karloff wasn’t allowed to take time off from the broadway production to make the film), and Peter Lorre is just flawless. Flawless!
Listen to great sound clips from it here.
