[Film Review] The Ladykillers (1955)
Technically, how difficult can it be for 5 hardened criminals (posed as a string quintet with the whole combo of its instruments) to liquidate a petite old lady like Mrs. Wiberforce (Johnson), who lives alone in her lopsided manse in the vicinity of London's Kings Cross railway station, a perfect...

The first time I watched Yilin's comedy, the play is really exquisite and harmonious. After the theft was over, the good show was staged; the string performance was used as a cover to neutralize the evil spirit of the thief's identity in the comedy (Guinness fully presented these two words); and a most traditional old lady was arranged as an opponent, The difference in the number of one-to-five and the huge contrast in image not only creates a perfect dramatic tension, but also lays the foundation for the comedy effect. On top of this, there are five old ladies appearing, five thieves "disappearing" one after another, the final ownership of money, and the perfect echo of the beginning and the end.
