continues a season of classic comedy films, today starring Alec Guinness
Dennis Price
This film, one of the greatest of all British movies, and an unusually black Ealing comedy, is famous for Alec Guinness 's portrayal of eight contrasting characters. Equally memorable is Dennis Price as Louis - a lowly member of the noble D'Ascoyne family who decides to revenge himself for their treatment of his mother and rises to become the Duke of Chalfont. His plan is simple - to murder each member of the family who stands between him and the coveted title.
