A sedate marriage bureau scene,at the start of the movie,gets quickly muddled in a comedy of errors about two elderly aunts.On his wedding day,the groom,a once confirmed bachelor and his zany brainy-blonde bride, discover a nasty habit about his aunts.The old gals concoct lethal brewskys laced with arsenic and disperse them to elderly gents! The confused groom attempts to solve the mystery and so postpones his honeymoon when he stumbles upon evidence of two mercy-killing corpses.As he begins to uncover the circumstances, strange and darkly characters wander in and out of his aunts' parlor causing added alarm and surprise! The final scene,however has him wisking away his befuddled bride for that long-awaited honeymoon,leaving an even more befuddled taxi driver biting the dust.Its a melodrama full of fast-paced, tongue in cheek antics,comical grimaces and merciless mimicry. B/W 100 min. 1944 |
