Lillian Gish & Helen Hayes ~ Arsenic & Old Lace (1969) Bob Crane & Fred Gwynne
co-starring Billy De Wolfe, Richard Deacon, Bob Dishy, Jack Gilford, Sue Lyon, Elaine Harper & David Wayne
Writers: Luther Davis, Joseph Kesselring (play).
Director: Robert Scheerer.
Aired: April 2nd, 1969 - ABC Movie of the Week.
KEEP IN MIND: The original aired in Color. That is how I remembered it as a kid. This DVD was acquired from a Black and White 16mm master. Potentially, a 16mm screening print for marketers, television stations, and so on. It resembles the 1944 version even more than one could imagine because of that. Otherwise, complete, un-cut ~ best!

IMDB:.

"It's difficult, if not difficult, to remake a classic. Considering that its theatrical release in 1944 only one attempt has been made to remake Frank Capra's 'Arsenic and Old Lace' and the reality that it came in the kind of a "made for TELEVISION" film made it appear, initially glimpse, even greater sacrilege. The production is, nonetheless, first class. Bob Crane (Hogan's Heroes) simply shines as the bewildered newlywed Mortimer Brewster, suddenly confronted with the reality that his gene swimming pool was more like a fetid DNA swamp of psychotic chromosomes. Careful updating of the original play only served to make it possibly more enticing to contemporary audiences without interfering with the perfection of its predecessor. Casting was beyond reproach. Who might potentially protest Lillian Gish and Helen Hayes (Academy Award Winners) as the sweet, dotty albeit homicidal aunties or Fred Gwynne (The Munsters) as the threatening bro Jonathan. This variation is seldom if ever shown however if you ever get an opportunity to see it, do. It is an upgraded interpretation of the original and every bit as great.".
