I hope more foreign films take the prize in years to come. Our American films win awards in other countries. It's only fair that some of their efforts win awards in our country too!

Bethluvsfilms Posted February 19 I always thought Cary was perfect in ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, even though it wasn't his favorite performance. Jack Benny would have been too subtle for the role. I think the part of Mortimer Brewster called for it being over-the-top, especially with the dark humor going on in the film. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
