Arsenic & Old Lace (Dementia Friendly Screening)

Dir: Frank Capra | 1944 | 113 MINS | Certificate PG

Cary Grant and a stellar cast romp through this classic farce based on Joseph Kesserling's 1941 Broadway hit and breezily directed by Frank Capra. Frazzled drama critic Mortimer Bewster (Grant) has two aunts who ply lonely geezers with poisoned libations, one sociopathic brother who looks like Boris Karloff, one bonkers brother who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt, one impatient new bride - and only one night to make it turn out all right. In this circus' centre ring is Grant, twisting his face into a clown's gallery of flabbergasted reactions and transforming his natural athletic grace into a rubber-legged comic ballet. You'll die laughing.

Our dementia friendly screenings are open to all, but have been tailored with care, attention and insight, to be accessible for people living with dementia.
