About this product

Product Information

THE LADYKILLERS, director Alexander Mackendrick's third Ealing farce, is the final comedy produced by the famous British studio and one of its most celebrated. Like the equally applauded KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS, the film is more sophisticated and blacker in tone than typically lighthearted Ealing fare (such as Mackendrick's WHISKEY GALORE!). Alec Guinness stars as the superbly shifty, toothily threatening Professor Marcus, the leader of a crime ring planning a heist. Marcus rents rooms from a sweet, eccentric old lady, Mrs. Wilberforce (Katie Johnson), in her crooked London house. The professor and his co-conspirators, blowhard Major Courtney (Cecil Parker), creepily suave Louis (Herbert Lom), chubby Harry (Peter Sellers), and muscleman One-Round (Danny Green), pose as an unlikely string quartet using the rooms for rehearsal. Dodging Mrs. Wilberforce's constant interruptions, the hoods hit upon the idea to use her in the daring daylight robbery (filmed in and around London's King's Cross station). When the old girl discovers the truth, Marcus and company cannot persuade her to stay buttoned up about it and thus decide to do her in. Accompanied by a noirish cacophony of screeching trains, parrots, and little old ladies at afternoon tea, a series of unlikely events builds to the hilarious, surprising finale.

    One of the Best comdies ever Made!

    I enjoy dry British humor, and The LadyKillers is full of dry and over the top humor. The dialog is witty and the interaction between the characters is perfect. Watching a young Peter Sellers in his first major role interacting with Herbert Lom, knowing in decades to come they'd be in films together as Inspector Clouseau and Chief Inspector Dreyfuss.This is also one of Alec Guinness's best comedic roles. The film is just a pleasure to watch!

  • Good old fashioned entertainment

    I bought this DVD so I could compare it to the remake that was produced in 2004 by the Cohen brothers, which is hilarious. After watching the newer version several times, I was curious to see how it compared to the original 1955 English version. The story line is roughly similar, and there were a lot of tidbits thrown into the newer version that paid tribute to the original. Both are well worth watching. The reason I did not give it five stars is there was no closed captioning, although the box indicated it was closed captioned. Watching English movies, or more accurately, listening to English moves is a challenge, and without closed captioning, it was impossible to understand some of the dialog.

  • Great dark comedy with a talented set of actors!

    This is a classic dark comedy. I am a Herbert Lom and Peter Sellers fan, so I can’t say enough positive reasons why I purchased a copy. The aspect ratio was set for today’s standard configurations. You will not be disappointed.

  • Great English Comedy of the 1950's

    Alec Guiness and a young Peter Sellers wre excellent but Katie Johnson who plays the best little old lady in the history of cimema steals the show.

  • The Old Lady Wins!

    The biggest Jem in this movie is Old Lady. And she Wins because of her purity. I like cinematography of this movie. All details of the time. Very recommended.
