Movie Reviews of The Ladykillers
Movie Review: I wondered if you'd like some tea?
Summary: 5 Stars
Ealing comedy at its zenith. Led by Alec 'Kenobe' Guinnes, a cabal or robbers hole up in the house of an elderly lady, Mrs Wilberforce, under the guise of a string ensemble. Mrs W eventually rumbles them and they agree there is no option left but to dispose of her. Unfortunately, things do not go as planned and string ensemble is whittled down to nothing in no time. Comedy throughout, although a very real sense of the macabre helped by the backdrop of a dark marshalling yard to the rear of the property where the final scenes are played out. Beautiful!
Movie Review: halarious and exciting
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS MOTION PICTURE IS ONE OF A KIND. I WAS ELEVEN YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS PICTURE, AND NEVER FORGOT IT. THE COMEDY OF IT WAS OUTSTANDING. NOT TO SPEAK OF THE PLOT. THE SET UP WAS SO NEAT, WATCHING THESE MEN POSING AS MUSICIANS, BUT IN REALITY, THEY WERE TRYING TO BE MURDERERS. AND THEN WATCHING TO SEE HOW THEY WOULD GO ABOUT TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR TASK. SO, EVER SINCE THEN, I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN CONTACT WITH THE MOVIE. I HAVE RENTED IT, AND I CAN STILL RENT IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO NOW PURCHASE IT. WELL ANYWAY, THAT'S MY REVIEW.Movie Review: The Ladykillers
Summary: 5 Stars
Mackendrick's peerless black comedy benefits from William Rose's ingenious story and the finest casting a comedy could hope for: Guinness's Marcus is the essence of smarmy charm, and Johnson projects a steely will cloaked in Victorian gentility. The gang are an inspired bunch of misfits, including Cecil Parker, Herbert Lom, and a portly Peter Sellers (the latter two would reunite years later for the Pink Panther series). Simply one of the finest film comedies ever. (Not to be confused with re-make starring Tom Hanks).Movie Review: This is a perfect comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
There is not much more to say about this film. You can watch it once for pure laughs. Once again to appreciate its various geniuses doing some of their best work on (and behind) screen. Once again to revel in its brilliant structure. Then again simply to laugh your way through it once more. Katie Johnson steals the show and this is especially remarkable because she steals it from some of the greatest comedic actors in history including Peter Sellers, Alec Guiness and Herbert Lom.
Enjoy!
Movie Review: Very droll, very quaint gem!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is for those who appreciate humour with a British Touch. Alec Guiness, Peter Sellers and fellow robbers take a room with a little old lady, to use as a shield for the bank robbery. But it has wild reprocussions as that little old lady ties them into knots.An absolute howl, one of Guiness' best (showing his marvel range especially if you buy it with Damn the Defiant!)
I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys their comedy with a kinder, gentler Brit vein!!
