Cary Grant ad-libs in Arsenic and Old Lace: "Stop underplaying!"

[act3prods]

I always loved that line, but I wonder if it's really an ad lib. Mortimer is a drama critic, and that's in character for him.

Okay, so he would have been eighteen in '19. Still way too young for a medical school graduate, I mean, Doogie Howser notwithstanding. This is one of the best movies ever!

This movie came out in '47, right? And Dr. Einstein is described later in the film as being "about forty," right? Anyone else catch on that that would have made him about twelve when he became a doctor? There's another great joke hidden in the many fabulous layers of this movie!
