There's a Body in the Window Seat! is a detailed history of one of
the most beloved American murder-mysteries and comedies, Arsenic
and Old Lace. Actor, director, and playwright Charles Dennis
investigates the mystery behind the play: how did a true-life crime
in Connecticut turn into a comedy? And who are the real writers
that deserve credit for its long-lasting success? Dennis brings an
insider's view to Joseph Kesselring's attempts to write Arsenic and
Old Lace and how producers had to step in to save the play from his
heavy hand. He also follows the actors, both on the stage and on
the screen, as they handle the demands of the roles and
behind-the-scenes relationships. Why didn't Boris Karloff recreate
his stage role, even though Jean Adair and John Alexander did? Why
did Cary Grant hate his performance in Arsenic-was it because Frank
Capra deceived him or because of costume designer Orry Kelly? And
why did the movie never receive Academy Award consideration? Learn
the answers to these intriguing questions and more in There's a
Body in the Window Seat!
