Additional InformationTHE LADYKILLERS, director Alexander Mackendrick's third Ealing farce, is the final comedy produced by the famous studio and one of its most celebrated. Alec Guinness stars as the superbly shifty, toothily threatening Professor Marcus, the leader of a crime ring planning a heist. Marcus rents rooms from a sweet, eccentric old lady, Mrs. Wilberforce (Katie Johnson), in her crooked London house. The professor and his co-conspirators, blowhard Major Courtney (Cecil Parker), creepily suave Louis (Herbert Lom), chubby Harry (Peter Sellers), and muscleman One-Round (Danny Green), pose as an unlikely string quartet using the rooms for rehearsal. Dodging Mrs. Wilberforce's constant interruptions, the hoods hit upon the idea to use her in the daring daylight robbery (filmed in and around London's Kings Cross station). When the old girl discovers the truth, Marcus and company cannot persuade her to stay buttoned up about it and thus decide to do her in.

    How nice to be decent!

    No good for you if you seek sex, vulgarity, foul language or gratuitous violence........thankfully! If you prefer subtlety, simplicity and role playing actors, go for it. Beautifully entertaining in a lovely straightforward mould and your children could watch it too. It is no blockbuster but it is relaxing and an excellent reflection on some of the characteristics that go to make up real life. Lovely and simple.

    Ladykillers

    Film was good, but sound track was bad, very faint, could hardly hear dialogue.

  • Simply, one of the best films of all time. Unmissable.

    Superb entertainment throughout, one of my favourite films of all time. The cast is genuinely stellar with the incomparable Alec Guinness and legendary Peter Sellers along with his 'Pink Panther' nemesis Herbert Lom, the quinessential Englishman of the era, Cecil Parker. They simply don't make films as good as this anymore. Brilliantly directed, the humour is timeless and the plot wonderfully engaging - if you have not seen it, spoil yourself this Christmas!

    Very funny entertaining film,only the character famous actors could have carried out the funny story line. The film was even supported by camera work,timing of the bungling actors very popular with the general public.
