Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949)
Crime/Comedy · 1h 46m · 9/3/2019
Description
The great Alec Guinness plays all eight members of the aristocratic D'Ascoyne Family, murdered by the suave Louis Mazzini (Dennis Price) in order to inherit a dukedom. The film taps a rich vein of black humour that always ran through Ealing films, and despite being a period piece has barely dated. There's wonderful support from Joan Greenwood as Mazzini's snobbish girlfriend, but it's Alec Guiness's triumphant performance that remains at the heart of a brilliant comedy.
