Am I the only one with difficulties telling young Alec Guinness and young Peter Sellers apart?
That's Dennis Price, not Peter Sellers.
One of my British mum's favorite films.
This and Lavendar Hill Mob are the only Ealing Studios comedies I've ever seen and they're both great. I wish I could see more. You can see the influence they had on the next generation of comics in Britain I think.
Get hold of The Ladykillers if you can. (The Coen Brothers remake has some fun moments but really isn't anywhere near as good as the original.)
it's really one of the best comedies, ever. Star Wars was Guinness' low point and an easy paycheck.
This is one of the few old comedy classics that isn't horribly outdated.
