    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    really it's the whole family is a managery that I'm sure the neigborhood put up with. Semi-serine on the outside, except for Teddy, but inside...let the games begin!!

    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    Agreed, that cover gives a lighter, almost RomCom feel...not all that this movie is about by a long shot!!

    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    I would love to believe that it is in progress, but all this does seem a little vague. Agreed. I think Criterion would do some justice to GD, they can be miracle workers!!

    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    Although a Fall timeline, anytime for me I love watching this title. I just did this one, Gunga Din and Bringing up Baby, in a mini fest of Carey Grant-ness!!

    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    but we all understand why Karloff was MIA in the part earlier in the thread. Sad, it would have been just that much better, although I do like Massey in the part as well!!

    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    There was some talk on this thread about it being in production but no date given as to release. It’s on my hit list for sure, Blu-ray heaven, a nicely restored version would just pop even in black-and-white.

    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    the 1952 Radio stage play would be fun, if just to hear Karloff do his thing. But that's just it, you really need to SEE the action and not just the audio of a feature like A&OL. The visuals are part and parciel to the caous of it!! I'm sure some of it can be transfered to the "radio-ness" of...

    Massey played a great John Brown in the Flynn classic "They Died with thier Boots On"too. Always the intense parts, LOL!!

    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    the only time where Karloff was in a semi comedic role as a killer was with Danny Kaye "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty". Kind of that same vain as Basil Rathbone in The Court Jester. Get It Got it Good!!!

    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    It always amazes me to see where out of chaos comes such a classic!!

    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    Agreed, especially when the line about "you sure look like Karloff" come up, and it IS Karloff...it would even be funnier!!

    Cary Grant's Arsenic & Old Lace needs a restoration and UPgrade

    I know many titles are in the works, from the various studios. Now that the smoke seems to be clearing a bit. But has anyone heard anything about these 2 classic Cary Grant blockbusters? Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) and Gunga Din (1939) seem woefully absent from any HD upgrades. Both are...
