Kind Hearts And Coronets [DVD]

I already have this movie on bluray but I simply couldn't resist buying this new remasterPQ is sublime and befitting a movie of this supreme qualityDennis Price is, for me, the star of this movie. What a pity his alcoholism totally ruined his career.The package is excellent but I woukd rather pay less and have a basic package with just the case and cover. I consider such things as postcards and posters to be a complete waste of money.I managed to buy this anniversary edition on amazon at a bargain price otherwise I would not have paid the full price.This is a perfect movie with a beautiful picture that looks even better when upscaled to 4K

Having seen this film many times I was amazed by the picture quality it's hard to believe it was made 70 years ago and the extra's give the viewer an insight into the making of this great film I was torn as to which copy to purchase the box set which retails at £25.00 or the copy I purchased for £14.99 as I didn't think it was worth paying an additional £10.00 for a booklet, art cards and a poster but that's up to the individual to make that choice as everything else is on both copies anyway watch and enjoy.

If you like this film get the DVD. They certainly don't make them like this any more, witty, intelligent, no CGI, no car chases etc. One of the best films ever made.

Not only is this Black Comedy by far the best of the classic Ealing Comedies but it would probably rate as one of the top ten British films of all time in any genre.The impeccable Dennis Price plays an Anglo-Italian commoner who, through regrettable circumstances, feels he has been cheated out of this birthright to become a Duke. When his dear mother is killed as a result of a road accident he plans to bump off the people ahead of him in the line of succession. All seven of those people, including one lady, as well as the current Duke all being played beautifully by Alec Guinness.This film, like many fine comedies, is one of those that can be seen again and again without any diminution of interest and joy.In these days of films being churned out seemingly every five minutes it is very refreshing to see a crafted film that will remembered a very long time.I thoroughly recommend this film to those to cherish a good Comedy.

An Amazing restoration of one if not the best of Ealing Studios Comedies. I watched this as a Child and the film never grows old .Alec Guinness features in eight different roles as the unsuspecting members of the aristocratic D’Ascoyne family.... A fantastic must see film

This is quite simply one of the best films ever made. I must have seen it a dozen times, but never tire of it. Superb screenplay, consummate acting, faultless direction. Alec Guinness is, imho, the greatest screen actor ever, and Joan Greenwood had the sexiest voice in all creation. They don't make films like this anymore, alas. Enjoy!

Unfortunately the film suffered from being so outdated. References to "natives in Matabeleland" and the use of the n- word liberally at the end of the film meant that I had no choice but to delete film from my video library. I know that a caption was shown on the screen before the film started. However, it stated that some "may be" NOT all will be offended by aspects of the content of the film. It was not worth remastering this relic of a bygone age. It belongs in the dustbin. It is a pity because Alec Guinness was an accomplished actor as to Dennis Price. I hope I've got the latter's name right.

Yet to watch this with mum but I remember it from when I was younger and I love old movies and of course, Alec Guinness.Was unavailable for a long time on DVD so. Glad you can get it now,
