In Brooklyn's old house on Halloween night,
Where eccentric Brewsters dwell in delight,
Mortimer Brewster, a critic of fame,
Finds a dead body and plays a deadly game.
His aunts Abby and Martha, sweet and sly,
Poison lonely bachelors, bid them goodbye.
Brother Jonathan, a killer on the loose,
With his accomplice, brings chaos and abuse.
Directed by Capra, with flair and wit,
The film unfolds in one grand set, a hit.
Grant shines as Mortimer, full of charm,
While Lorre adds humor, a comedic alarm.
Despite its flaws and production woes,
"Arsenic and Old Lace" still glows.
A classic blend of comedy and black,
A gem of Hollywood, never to lack.
So sit back, enjoy the laughter and thrills,
As this timeless film your heart fills.
For in the world of Brewsters, love and crime,
Blend together in this film, so sublime.
