    There are two surprises, so that the clichéd lines and straight-forward performances can be ignored. The script is very good, and the ending is the finishing touch, even giving the film a quasi-noir temperament in an instant. When I think about it, I can only envy the golden period of black and white films in the 1930s and 1940s, and the peak period of the New Wave in the 1950s and 1960s. In those decades, the hunger and thirst was more than the belly, and the pitiful did not leave a trace of...

    The kindness of the mother and the crown of the son. Alec Guinness as Octagon is still at his fingertips, performing more than the Bridge on the River Kwai. The ending is...

    The dark side of His graces. Murder of 6 relatives, mistress disputes (is that typical of film noir?) failed to cause death, but in the end it was the responsibility of the prison. The ending reverses all the way, neat and tidy. Circumcisive dialogue. Alec Guinness is one person with aniseed......

    One person plays the role of anise, and the performance is a victory. Although a bunch of people are standard comedies, it is really a noir movie. The story is told very calmly, with various stalks that can't be laughed, and a bunch of light-hearted murder...

    9.5/10. ①The male protagonist, who was born in a British aristocratic family, was marginalized and impoverished by the family's indifference since he was a child. In order to get revenge and turn over, the male protagonist killed all the title contenders step by step and inherited the title of duke, but he was framed by his old lover and involved in a murder case and capsized. ②A very unique high-level comedy full of British-style cold and dark humor. It mainly uses the tone of narration,...

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.
