Although I do not normally enjoy watching old movies that are in black and white, I did however, enjoy watching Arsenic and Old Lace, because it was not only comical but also ironic, and slightly mysterious.
One of the most ironic and comical elements of the movie would have to be that the two elderly women, Aunt Abby Brewster, and Aunt Martha Brewster were murders. The women felt like they were doing their victims a favor by killing them, and “putting them out of their misery”. In appearance you would never have expected the two women to look like murders. I found it highly strange that the women had actual funerals for the people that they poisoned.
When Jonathan Brewster, and Dr. Einstein just appeared, and demanded they stay at the Brewster house was very strange and mysterious, because he was M.I.A. for so long and just expected everyone to welcome him, and his surgeon with open arms.
I am glad Mrs. Watson chose Arsenic and Old Lace specificly, opposed to any black and white movie.
