Directed by the great director Frank Capra, who presents us in a comical and innocent way, a series of murders, committed within a family and that the protagonist Mortimer, played brilliantly by Cary Grant, will try to hide and his fear of the madness that runs through the veins of his family is hereditary and he ends up committing the same atrocities will lead him to star in crazy situations.
It may have happened to us at some time that we find ourselves with situations or events that we unconsciously carry out and in which we can see the same pattern that is repeated in our family, from the slightest, mania or custom to what The more bothers and dislikes us in our family, it becomes what we unconsciously repeat the most. And the discovery of these murders, will condition the protagonist in his attempt not to continue transmitting this family gene, this kind of madness in his lineage, he will discover it on his wedding day and will try to separate his lovely wife, an adorable creature that she will be involved in the most bizarre scenes with other members of the family, to the point of fearing for her own life.
The co-stars, charming old ladies in their persecution mania, believe they are doing their best to help others. How many times in this endeavor or belief do we do things for others in an attempt to help or rather to impose our concept of good or evil on others. Here what is fine for them, helping poor unhappy homeless people or families to put an end to their unhappy life, collides head-on with what anyone in their right mind would consider an atrocity. It is presented to us in an extreme way to show us that nothing is right or wrong but that everything depends from the point of view in which we see it, for these adorable old ladies who care about their peers, to the point of wanting to rid them of misfortunes and calamities of life putting an end to their lives, is shown to us in the form of extreme madness and in which in his world his perception of good is this and that when the protagonist discovers it he is in complete shock since each member of the family seems to have an inclination towards madness and he thinks that it also runs in his blood and he will try to hide it not in an old chest or basement as the protagonists do, but by interning them in a "Happy days" sanatorium where each one is happy with his madness and they can't hurt anyone.
