Arsenic & Old Lace is a 1962 television film directed by George Schaefer and starring Tony Randall. It first aired during season 11 of the NBC anthology series Hallmark Hall of Fame.[1] It is an adaptation of Joseph Kesselring's 1939 play Arsenic and Old Lace.
Boris Karloff reprised his role as Jonathan Brewster (who is described by the other characters as resembling the Frankenstein star), which he had originated on Broadway. He had been unable to appear in Frank Capra's 1944 film due to a scheduling conflict, but had played Jonathan on television once before, in a 1955 adaptation for the CBS anthology series The Best of Broadway.[2]
