Release Date: February 28, 2006
Director: Robert Hamer
Description: 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 her family's dukedom. Unfortunately, eight relatives, all played by the incomparable Alec Guinness, must be eliminated before he can do so.

Kind Hearts and Coronets:
by Philip Kemp Feb 21, 2006
Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) is an Ealing comedy in name only. True, it's undeniably a comedy and was made by (though largely not at) Ealing. But in virtually every other respect, it deviates startlingly from the commonly accepted stereotype.
