Alec Guinness in
THE LADYKILLERS

2:40   8:50

(1955, Alexander Mackendrick) After the swag from their payroll robbery goes flying through the parlor, buck-toothed Alec Guinness and his “string quartet” –– including a young Peter Sellers –– decides it’s time to silence sweet little landlady Katie Johnson. Perhaps the peak of Ealing comedy –– and its swan song. From the director of Sweet Smell of Success! DCP. Approx. 91 min.

Reviews
