KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS, 1949, Rialto Pictures, 106 min. Dir. Robert Hamer. “It is so difficult to make a neat job of killing people with whom one is not on friendly terms,” reflects Louis Mazzini (Dennis Price), who gets closer to his mother’s estranged family for the sole purpose of bumping them off and inheriting a dukedom. The eight members of the D'Ascoyne clan who stand in his way are all played by Alec Guinness. THE LAVENDER HILL MOB, 1951, Rialto Pictures, 81 min. Dir. Charles Crichton. The blend of comedy and crime that made Ealing one of Britain’s most revered studios is on full display in this tale of a bank clerk (Alec Guinness) and a foundry owner (Stanley Holloway) who concoct a nearly perfect plot to steal a fortune in gold bullion. Keep your eyes peeled for young Audrey Hepburn and Robert Shaw in minor roles.
