In this macabre comedy, the two elderly Brewster sisters extend their well intentioned but lethal charity towards lonely old men seeking lodgings, assisted by their nephew who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt. Add a second nephew, a drama critic recently engaged to be married, his murderous brother who looks like Boris Karloff, a gangland surgeon and various local police, and we enter the madcap farce that became the much loved film adaptation with Cary Grant.

A classic comedy of elderly ladies dispensing elderberry wine with crazy consequences
