Lavender Hill Mob review

[alobear]

Continuing through our box set of Ealing Comedies, last night's selection was The Lavender Hill Mob. Again, a great film, very silly with wonderful humour and thrills. The class divide was particularly amusing, with the middle class orchestrators assuming complete authority over their lower class "professional criminal" associates, despite the criminals having all the experience.

Alec Guinness was fantastic as Mr Holland, carrying out his mastermind plan to steal a million pounds in gold bullion. Insane and ridiculous, but great entertainment all the same.
