They are like pressed rose leaves.

I truly cannot believe that I've never yet seen Arsenic and Old Lace. The DH has decided that this is the movie we shall watch tonight. The opening credits were surprising, with the visual references to witchcraft and the Halloween season.

It's only a few minutes in, and I am already in love with it. There are a lot of other B&W classic movies of this type that I adore as well. Of course, this (not including musicals) is just the "short" list.

Bringing Up Baby
His Girl Friday
Bell Book and Candle
The Absentminded Professor
Charade
North by Northwest
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Vertigo
Rear Window
Harvey
It's a Wonderful Life
Shop Around the Corner
Casablanca
Seven Samurai
Metropolis
The Incredible Mr. Limpet
Who's Minding the Store
The Court Jester
Sergeant York
The African Queen
Woman of the Year
Christmas in Connecticut

Most of these have Carey Grant or Jimmy Stewart in them, huh? Yeah.
