2:15 am (8th)-- TCM — Arsenic and Old Lace In what is probably Frank Capra's zaniest, least Capra - corn-esque film, Cary Grant plays Mortimer Brewster — a perfectly normal man until he discovers that his sweet
old maid aunts have accumulated several dead bodies in the basement due to poisoning lonely old men.
The film focuses on Lina's relationship with Siham, her stern
aunt's 18 - year -
old Syrian
maid, on whom she develops a crush and who introduces her to the world of the opposite sex while using her as a means to abscond for clandestine dates.
