Frank Capra brings to life Joseph Kesselring’s 1941 stage farce Arsenic and Old Lace. Written in the late 30’s , the film follows the Brewster family, descendants of the Mayflower “settlers”. To some like scholar Matthew C. Gunter the film acts as a commentary on the formation of the United States and the stark contrast between America’s freedom and the violent colonization of the country.
 
The film is produced by Capra and former Warner Bros. President Jack L. Warner, with screenplay adaptation written by Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein. The film’s Cinematographer is Sol Polito, edited by Daniel Mandell, and music by Max Steiner.

The film stars Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane, Raymond Massey, Josephine Hull, Jean Adair, John Alexander, Jack Carson and Peter Lorre.
