The Ladykillers

The final Ealing Studios comedy, this outrageous caper farce stars Alec Guinness as Professor Marcus, a criminal mastermind planning a multi-million-pound heist. Enter Mrs. Wilberforce (Katie Johnson), the little old landlady who runs the professor's team's hideout, an ever-present fixture who constantly-and unwittingly-throws a spanner in the works. Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom co-star; directed by Alexander Mackendrick ("Sweet Smell of Success"). 86 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Three-disc set. Region Free
