  • **Before the words Help me Obi-Wan you're my only hope forever typified Alec Guiness he made a series of wonderful, snide Ealing Studios comedies (yes I do love them very much). This film is the masterpiece among that fine group. A quiet, honest gold transporter finds his job has no future rewards and decides to pull a daring gold bullion heist. He conspires with a paperweight manufacturer and a couple of thieves. As the film progresses circumstances fly further and further out of control. A film that is fun, outrageous entertainment from the first scene to the very last. The director made another great caper film 35 years later, that film is A Fish Called Wanda and it shares much the same manic energy.

In honor of you listing The Lavender Hill Mob (which I have not seen yet, but will soon) as your favorite, I've done a meager 1949 list, which includes Kind Hearts and Coronets, my first (and only) Ealing comedy.
