Description
Cast: Alec Guinness, Dennis Price, Valerie Hobson
The tale of a dethroned duke (Price) who sets out to reclaim his title by murdering the members of the family who had disowned his mother, Kind Hearts and Coronets also features Guinness giving a tour de force performance as eight members of the D’Ascoyne family. Uproariously funny, brilliantly fast and appropriately dark, the film stands as one of Guinness’s finest achievements and among the greatest comedies from Britain’s Ealing Studios.
