Nostalgic Cinema: Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) (PG)

Nostalgic Cinema: Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)

Directed by Frank Capra

Starring Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane, Josephine Hull

Duration 128 mins


Nostalgic Cinema events are kindly sponsored by Home Instead Exeter & East Devon – providers of officially outstanding home care across our community.


Writer and notorious marriage detractor Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) falls for girl-next-door Elaine Harper (Priscilla Lane), and they tie the knot on Halloween. When the newlyweds return to their respective family homes to deliver the news, Brewster finds a corpse hidden in a window seat. With his eccentric aunts (Josephine Hull, Jean Adair), disturbed uncle (John Alexander), and homicidal brother (Raymond Massey), he starts to realize that his family is even crazier than he thought.



Dementia Friendly Cinemas have proven to be very therapeutic for people with memory problems and their families. Besides engaging the brain and stimulating emotions, being part of an audience enjoying a film helps people with dementia and their carers to feel less isolated and also challenges the stigma associated with the condition.


All Nostalgic Cinema performances have subtitles to assist full enjoyment of the film by any members of the audience who are hard of hearing.


Whilst promoted as a dementia friendly screening, we hope anyone who loves the old films will come along for an afternoon of fond memories.


Tickets £5 - includes hot drink, biscuits and chat after the screening.

Ticket price includes £1 admin fee

Seats are not allocated for these showings.

Synopsis

When the young geisha, Cio-Cio-San, marries American Naval Officer Pinkerton, she

believes she is entering a real, binding marriage for life. Forsaking her religion and

community, she learns all too late that for Pinkerton, their marriage is merely an illusion –

with tragic consequences.

With a score that includes Butterfly’s aria, 'Un bel dì, vedremo' (‘One fine day’) and the

Humming Chorus, Giacomo Puccini’s opera is entrancing and ultimately heart-breaking.

Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s exquisite production takes inspiration from 19th-century

European images of Japan. Asmik Grigorian performs the role of Cio-Cio-San, with Kevin

John Edusei conducting.
