Anything Goes : Charge! by Francis LaLonde

Francis LaLonde

Charge!

I still love the writing on 1944's Arsenic and Old Lace. Throw in Cary Grant and...WOW. One of my favorite lines: Mortimer Brewster: Look I probably should have told you this before but you see... well... insanity runs in my family... It practically gallops.

Francis LaLonde

Of course, there's always the great Peter Lorre: Dr. Einstein: [cringing] No! Not the Melbourne method, please! Two hours!

Kevin Patrick McCarthy

Always loved that "gallops" line, too. I'm thinking Joseph Kesselring probably wrote that line in the play, but the adapters, Julius and Pillip Epstein, may also deserve credit.
