The Lavender Hill Mob

£7.99

Released: 1st August 2011. Glimmering new 4K restoration of THE LAVENDER HILL MOB (1951), the enduring Ealing Studios comedy classic directed by CHARLES CRICHTON with cinematography by the great DOUGLAS SLOCOMBE. Winner of a BAFTA for Best British Film and an Academy Award for Best Screenplay, THE LAVENDER HILL MOB remains today one of the finest British comedies ever made. 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 them into France. Soon after, they gain the services of professional criminals Lackery (SID JAMES) and Shorty (ALFIE BASS) and the four plot what they believe will be the perfect crime - which turns out to be anything but!
