    Couldn't even recognize Cary Grant from North by Northwest. In fact, the second half is full of jokes. One family killed 24...

    The humorous family is more of a personal performance, which is also a feature of the movie at that time; two old women, are they still insinuating the...

    But it's going to kill me so much! A bunch of BB maniacs. Grant sells so cute. There are too many perfunctory places in the plot, it can only be regarded as a pure...

    This style of telling bizarre crime stories in a hilarious way is actually a bit like the British Ealing...

    It's too long. The general sense of perception is generally rational analysis. The twists and turns of the arrangement are ingenious and complex, but also have certain social and historical significance. Gothic horror and comedy elements are mixed together to create a sweet and poisonous wine. The laughter is diverse. From the contradiction between the good and evil of the old ladies to this The final destination is not the thick one that all cats and dogs can come to, and then the stupid...

    Another neuro-comedy, hilariously insane, with simple characters, concentrated conflict, and exaggerated performances. It's clearly a movie where the stage has changed. It's not easy for a family to be a lunatic, a neurotic aunt bullies his brother's delusional relatives. Regardless of the image of the heartthrob, Grant is really very suitable for acting as a comedy handsome...

    The black comedy that is getting better and better, the structural dislocation, homophonic puns and ironic black humor caused by various violations in the second half are simply too wonderful to be better. This humor is not blunt, but it uses a Extremely absurd and exaggerated way to express serious and even slightly sad feelings. Not to mention, let Cary Grant play a funny and cute jumping up and down, how can you not add...

    At first, I was always happy. The performance of two aunties was very eye-catching. In the middle, I started to endure it. It was not because I didn't laugh, mainly because I saw the so-called black humor that appeared repeatedly. I lost my resonance and was tired of the ridiculous way of Einstein. The doctor, the actor, seems to often play some despicable and cowardly roles. I saw him in...

    Arsenic and Old Lace

    In an apartment in Brooklyn, New York, two old ladies who looked very kind and kind on the surface lived. Unexpectedly, they used the poisoned liquor they brewed to kill some lonely old men who visited. This secret was discovered by accident by their nephew Gary Grant, how should we deal with the...

    Comedy conflict in a single scene

    Since the several films directed by Capra I have come into contact with before are relatively themes, I thought that before watching "Poison and the Old Woman", I thought that this should continue the previous style. Sure enough, it started with an emotional scene between Grant and the girl, as...
