SYNOPSIS
Alexander Mackendrick’s last Ealing comedy and certainly one of the best, William Rose received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Alec Guinness stars in one of his most vivid disguises, in this killingly funny black comedy gem. The villains plot to kill the old lady who discovers their robbery. But the pensioner is not as harmless as she seems! A rare colour film from Ealing in the ’50s, it was premiered in 1955 at the end of the Ealing Green period.
