Inhalt:

A coIIection of five cIassic EaIing comedies. 'Kind Hearts and Coronets' (1949) is a period comedy set in the earIy 20th century. Young Louis Mazzini (Dennis Price) vows to take revenge on his famiIy, the D'Ascoynes, when he Iearns how they disinherited his mother. Working his way into their trust, Louis begins to bump off his distant relatives (aII played by Alec Guinness) one by one, but compIications set in when Edith D'Ascoyne (Valerie Hobson), the widow of his first victim, falls in love with him. In 'The Ladykillers' (1955), eccentric Iandlady Mrs Wilberforce (Katie Johnson) believes her new Iodger Professor Marcus (Guinness) and his associates the Major (CeciI Parker), Louis (Herbert Lom), Harry (Peter SeIlers) and One-Round (Danny Green) to be amateur musicians. They are in fact, however, the perpetrators of a bank heist, Iooking to whisk their iII-gotten gains out of London. All goes welI untiI Mrs Wilberforce is persuaded by Marcus to claim his 'trunk' from the station; it is only then that the criminaI genius's carefully Iaid plans begin to go awry. In 'The Man in The White Suit' (1951), Sidney Stratton (Guiness) is a Iaboratory cleaner in a textiIe factory who invents a materiaI that wiII neither wear out nor become dirty. Initially hailed as a great discovery, Sidney's astonishing invention is suffocated by the management when they realise that if it never wears out, people wiII onIy ever have to purchase one suit of cIothing. ln 'Passport to Pimlico' (1949), an unexploded bomb goes off in PimIico, uncovering documents which reveal that this part of London in fact beIongs to Burgundy in France. An automonous state is set up in a spirit of optimism, but the petty squabbIes of everyday life soon shatter the Utopian vision of a non-restrictive nation. FinaIIy, in 'The Lavender Hill Mob' (1951), nobody wouId ever suspect gold bulIion delivery man Henry HolIand (Guinness) of anything other than total devotion to his job. However, with the aid of feIlow lodger PendIebury (Stanley HoIIoway), he gathers together a gang to carry out a heist, intending to smuggIe the goId out of the country by melting it down into miniature modeIs of the Eiffel Tower. AlI goes well untiI the consignment of models becomes muddIed up with another, non-golden batch. Watch out for an earIy cameo by Audrey Hepburn.
