November's movie is: Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) PG

Famed for their hospitality, spinsters Martha and Abby Brewster are adored by their neighbours and guests. When their nephew, Mortimer, arrives to announce his engagement, he discovers a corpse in his aunts home only to learn that his aunts not only know about the body – they were the murderers! What follows is a hilarious chain of events in this classic dark comedy where the only thing more deadly than poison, is family.
