very silly and definitely has arsenic and old lace vibes
nothing remarkable but i think it’s an enjoyable little film + the pocket kitten <3

so much better when not in 240p off of archive.orgcouple was less annoying this time but not much of a plotthis bootleg arsenic and old lace is worth the watch if you're a peter lorre/boris karloff fan
