Descrizione prodotto
UK import Blu-ray/Region All pressing. Please note the box is printed as Region B but it is in fact Region All. Holland (Alec Guinness), is a shy retiring man who works as a bank transfer agent for the delivery of gold bullion. One day he befriends Pendlebury (Stanley Holloway), a maker of souvenirs. Holland remarks that, with Pendlebury's smelting equipment, one could forge the gold into harmless-looking toy Eiffel Towers and smuggle the gold into France. Soon after, they gain the services of professional criminals Lackery (Sid James) and Shorty (Alfie Bass) and the four plot their crime, unaware of the pitfalls which lie ahead. An enduring classic from director Charles Crichton, the Lavender Hill Mob features an early screen appearance from Audrey Hepburn and was included on the British Film Institute's list of the 100 Best British Films of the 20th Century. Special features: Behind the Scenes stills gallery, Introduction by Martin Scorsese, Excerpt from BECTU interview with Charles Crichton, Digitally restored trailer and Good Afternoon: Mavis interviews TEB Clarke. Studio Canal. 2011.

Presented in an unusual opening flower like cardboard case with some lovely stills from each film the case feels solid, secure and the discs are well protected. There are supposed to be some art cards included but my second hand copy did not include them, which was a shame.
To try and list or grade any of these films in some sort of artistic or qualitative order is like deciding which is best an Orange or an Apple and a bit of a waste of time as each viewer will have a favourite based on his or her own sensibilities. Each has it's own unique qualities, but there is one thing you can say that applies to all of them, they are all supremely entertaining, beautifully written, have fabulous performances, are directed with a sense of style and fun and are unashamedly old fashioned. Made between 1949 and 1955 in a post war orgy of inventiveness, Ealing, even though they were not a big studio, managed to produce films of such quality and freshness that the films have remained popular even to this day over seventy years later. Out of the ashes of a smashed and very poor country Ealing films seemed to epitomise the “stiff upper lip” attitude that helped citizens deal with the very real hardship of continued rationing and shortages. The studio ethos of investing in talent, taking risks and producing quality product is something producers today could consider as a business model.
Laughter and a real sense of subversive dark humour is never in short supply in all four and permeates each script and screenplay like the letters in a stick of rock. It's part of the DNA, ingrained into each aspect of production even down to the set design and lighting. This is especially so as seen in The Ladykillers, look out for Mrs Wilberforce's odd and strangely shaped house in which much of the action takes place and the striking colour scheme within. Each is an invigorating and fairly dark tale in it's own right, however for me personally, Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Ladykillers just pip The Lavender Hill Mob and The Man in the White Suit to the post. That is not to say these two films are not great because they are. Mob is a “mouse that turned” kind of heist/chase movie with a twist, whilst White Suit is a fairly political thriller about science and innovation and it's inevitable impact on those happy with the status quo and the ramifications for ordinary working class people. Very funny it most certainly is with a little bit of social commentary thrown in for good measure. All four films as you would expect are unburdened with any political correctness, gender politics or any kind of messaging whatsoever and although this can sometimes backfire, for the most part it's refreshing to see films as purely entertainment without issues of this sort. With nearly six hours of fabulous entertainment from a studio firing on all cylinders, this set is great value for money. And at only a few pounds you really can't go wrong if you like your humour as black as pitch and very funny.
The films are presented in their original aspect ratio of 1.33-1 except The Ladykillers which is in 1.66-1. This will produce black bars down the sides of a 16-9 standard TV. Most modern TV's can adjust the presentation ratio to remove these bars and give you a full image, however this will alter the framing of each shot and spoil the original intention of the cinematographer. It's best to leave well alone and watch them in the aspect ratio originally intended. The picture quality on these four films represents the quality of filming at the time of production. They have not, as far as I am aware, been cleaned up or digitized to improve picture quality. However film cameras from the forties and fifties captured a very clean crisp image which has survived very well and transferred to DVD with no issues I could see. The sound quality as you might expect on all is a little disappointing with some background hiss occasionally and the odd pop, but nothing to write home about and unless you are a sound aficionado you probably won't even notice. Considering the dark material and the rather large, if often devilishly funny, death count, I'm surprised that all films get a U certificate meaning suitable for all.
I was hoping that there may have been some extras bundled onto the discs such as making of documentaries but other than the original theatrical trailer the disc is bare. I suspect on the more expensive Blu Ray special editions there will be some interesting material. However I'm happy with just the film themselves.
As with any product from this time period there are bound to be a few examples of outdated and inappropriate language, sexual politics and race issues may be evident, however if you can accept it as a product of it's time and not dwell on such matters there is so much to enjoy. Films from this period and later do remind us how far society has come and changed for the better in a fairly short time.
A product of the time surely but still very very funny.
1951 LONDON~ Meek Dutch Holland (SIR ALEC GUINNESS) has the same BORING job FOR 20 years. Ride in the gold bullion truck for his bank. He lives in a low end Rooming House on Lavender Hill. When a fellow renter (STANLEY HOLLOWAY)happens to have a 'smelting business' where he makes Eiffel Tower Souvenirs. Dutch sees a "golden opportunity"... comes up with THE "scheme'...... ROB the bank's gold and 'melt it down' and make GOLDEN Eiffel Towers.... and ship the golden/ Eiffel Towers to France and a new "rich life". The additional "mob" is "recruited" when they are caught breaking into Hallways business. So the Lavender Hill "mob" is BORN. The fun is watching Mild Mannered Dutch plan...complete with map. The MOB Plans hit lot of BUMPS but they pull it off...then 'tie up' Dutch who is later saved by the police. Oddly he becomes the HERO of the whole scheme.....beyond funny. Guinness is hysterical as the hero who is anything BUT helpful to the police who are busy fallowing the false clues Dutch gives them. When several "REAL Gold Eiffel Towers" are accidentally sold to some English Girls they FOLLOW the girls back to London where they end up in a chase with the Police...Guinness and Holloway steal a REAL police car to "escape".... Guinness received his first Oscar nomination for his excellent portrayal of the TIMID Dutch. The Screenplay WON an Oscar. Also WATCH for very young Audrey Hepburn as a pretty girl in one of the first scenes in the movie. one of THE VERY best Guinness Comedies. Also see The Lady Killers....
