Arsenic and Old Lace, if you really want to go for something properly old.
Probably wouldn't suit the sort of people who browse their phones while "watching" movies, but it's a funny and well paced farce that has women with agency in it (unlike most movies of it's day)
Which one, 1944 (staring Cary Grant) or 1969 (with Bob Crane in the same role)?
I haven't seen the '69 version - worth watching?
The original is classic and very well executed.
1944
This is my favorite movie of all time. I kid you not. Has been since I first saw it as a kid. I am gobsmacked to see this here but delighted.
1944 or 1969?
‘44 with Cary Grant. I did not know there was a 1969 version.
Excellent!
I only saw it for the first time a couple of years ago, but it really had me in stitches, and it's now my go-to black and white film :-)
