Without a script that keeps the plot humming along at a breakneck pace, all the slapstick and goofing tends to create a pace-less sort of feeling—big moments of humor jutting out from long stretches of meandering plotting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eFor that reason, some of the very best screwball films come from the world of theater. A good play has to have high energy and meaningful dialogue or audiences will quickly fade. Arsenic and Old Lace was a sensational play before it ever hit the screen and that success shows through every minute of the run time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eBuoyed by the king of fast-talking, slapstick comedy, Carey Grant—and with wonderful villainous support from Raymond Massey and Peter Lorre—Frank Capra’s adaptation is just about the ideal expression of the artform.
