Synopsis
The Criterion Collection Is A Continuing Series Of Important Classic And Contemporary Films!
Director Robert Hamer's fiendishly funny Kind Hearts And Coronets stands as one of Ealing Studios' greatest triumphs, and one of the most wickedly black comedies ever made. Dennis Price is sublime as an embittered young commoner determined to avenge his mother's unjust disinheritance by ascending to the dukedom. Unfortunately, eight family members - all played by the incomparable Alec Guinness - must be eliminated before he can do so.
