    The name is really ironic, benevolence and the crown, the mother abandons the crown for benevolence, but the son loses the crown in the name of his mother but is benevolent to pursue the crown. I don't quite understand it as a comedy. Reminds me of many contemporary noir films. I think this film was somewhat influenced by Chaplin's late "Mr. Verdoux". Alek Guinness is such a strange man, I didn't realize that he was playing the octagonal role until the end of the credits. It's a pity that the...

    7.6 Hilarious and black humor, Alec Guinness plays the role of octagonal awesome, the script is wonderful! —- Forgive me for my ignorance, I can’t see anything funny at all. It’s obviously very serious. The only joke I can see is the bluntness of the ending. There is no highlight in Alec Guinness’s performance, but the performance is too much and it sounds awesome. Forget it, the lines are more exquisite in the whole film, the name is not true, and the reputation is too...

    Compared to Alec Guinness who plays Hexagon alone, I prefer the performance of the protagonist Dennis Price, which is very three-dimensional and hierarchical! The lines in the eyes are just right. The reversal at the end of the film is actually a bit deliberate, and it can be seen by a large number of viewers now. It ended up when the protagonist got out of prison and saw two women and two carriages are better. It was an unsolvable...

    This story happened in the time of Edward VII. Louis Mazzini's mother was rejected by the noble family of D'Ascoynes because of her elopement with an Italian opera house. After her death, the family refused to bury her in the family grave. Therefore, Louis began his plot to revenge... an open...

    If I were the protagonist, the thing I want to kill the most is Sibela. This woman is viciously offending from start to finish. That good photographer in the family feels very cute, don’t you deserve to...

    4.8 No wonder it was selected as the TOP 10 most favorite movie history of British people. The staleness and irony are all in their favorite stories of family inheritance, gentle revenge, and so on. There are a lot of cold jokes. The only serious warning must of course be said by prig: "Kind hearts are more than coronets, and simple faith than Norman blood." Hahahahaha (I don’t even bother to be a prig in the middle of the...

    Very good, reversal to the last moment. Alec Guinness plays the octagon alone, which is a must in movie history. Regarding the ending, I think it's quite ironic. British humor is very pleasing. It's a movie worth...

    The most relaxing and pleasant serial revenge murder case, the early British humor has a unique flavor, classic and fresh. In the ending, there are two metaphors for the two women. The judgment of kindness and crown is determined by the...

    When I watched this Ealing comedy, I gradually realized that it was applied in the style of film noir. The ending, the fallen man, the memory monologue, the femme fatale... basically all the elements of the black genre that do not conflict with the comedy are retained. Yiling comedy is full of styles and connotations, and has a long aftertaste. The biggest gimmick, the octagonal one person is even more vivid. I just watched the man in white, and the two collaborated again in this film—not even...

    The script is too subtle, killing seven or eight but was sentenced to death for a person who didn’t kill. He was released but left the evidence written by himself in prison. The only heir who would not be killed was frightened and died. When his childhood sweetheart wanted to get it. If you can't get it, you can't get rid of it when you don't want it. This is probably the case in life. Thousand-faced Guinness, one person decorated with octagonal, died over and over again, over and over again,...

Kind Hearts and Coronets quotes

  • Edith: But I have often felt that the attitude of my husband's family has failed to move with the times. That they think too much of the rights of the nobility and too little of its duties. The very honesty of your behavior would appear to me to prove them wrong.

  • Louis Mazzini: The D'Ascoynes certainly appear to have accorded with the tradition of the landed gentry, and sent the fool of the family into the church.
