Frank Capra adapted a hit play for this screwball meeting of the madcap and the macabre. On Halloween, drama critic Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) returns home to Brooklyn, where his aunts greet him with love, sweetness - and a grisly surprise: the corpses buried in their cellar. A brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, a crazed criminal who’s a dead ringer for Boris Karloff, and a drunken plastic surgeon are among the oddballs populating this diabolical delight that only gets funnier as the body count rises. (1944, 118 mins | Dir. Frank Capra)
