Arsenic and Old Lace

I thought that I would just share some personal thoughts about this movie and a trend I feel is happening with movies that were made back in the 1940's.  This movie there was a lot of conflict and also a lot going on that you had to pay attention to.  I feel the end wasn't something you would necessarily expect.  Also in this movie and in previously movies we have viewed murders play a big role but aren't played out as that big as they are in todays films.  In my mind they seem to be very downplayed and like you are supposed to see it coming.  Now a days a death in a film there is a lot more emotion and effect to it that leaves the audience with different emotions as well.
