About Kind Hearts And Coronets (PG)
Director Robert Hamer’s fiendishly funny Kind Hearts and Coronets is one of Ealing Studios’ greatest triumphs, and one of the most wickedly black comedies ever made.
Dennis Price is sublime as Louis Mazzini, an embittered young man determined to avenge his mother’s unjust disinheritance by ascending to her family’s dukedom and claiming his place in high society. Unfortunately, eight of his relatives, all played by the incomparable Alec Guinness, must be eliminated before he can do so…
“The Ealing genre reached utter perfection with this superb black comedy of manners starring Dennis Price and a miraculous Alec Guinness” ★★★★★ The Guardian
