    8.0/10 points. At first glance, the remastered OAR Blu-ray. The 1955 film is remarkable. The refined and ingenious British cold humor is completely different from the vulgarity and savagery of the American people today. . . The director and screenwriter are American. . . Tom Hanks starred in the 2004...

    Very interesting. A bunch of stupid thieves with all their organs and an old lady who won't fight without fighting. People who discriminate against the elderly will eventually cry for the elderly,...

    It fully shows that to be a bad person, it is not enough to be bad, strong, and armed, and you must be "really ruthless". A simple fable under black humor, a thief is neither stupid nor a thief, but he is an English gentleman with a careful plan. A sketch-style fable, cute enough to hide the thick smoke of death, and pitching is a performance like a stage play, without procrastination, with a knife in hand. The level of stalking and horror at the beginning is full, but in the end, the joking...

    A good-looking black comedy, with a "No Survivor"-style gloom in the second half. I wish there were more movies like this. btw the male lead is so...

    It's so beautiful, an old lady who can't make people want to kill no matter what and a group of big men who kill without blinking an eye 4K@11th bjiff Sanlitun...

    Tie the door to show that they are unskilled; not decisively killing the old lady shows that their main business is thieves, not murderers, cross-border non-professional crimes will eventually be difficult, and it also shows that they are not completely conscientious; In the end, the whole army can only be wiped out and go with the train to the end of the world. The old lady is very kind, and her kind and amiable temperament makes people like it. The film as a whole belongs to light humor, not...

    This has to be the weirdest and most magical cloud of steam in movie history! McKendridge captures what he sees as quintessentially British and British, an American with a precise and grotesque perspective. It is said that Guinness was suffering from a toothache when the film was filmed, so he interpreted the character of the professor in such a way that he gritted his teeth, not to mention whether this statement is true, at least Guinness has created a classic screen image this time and...

    Compared to the Coen Brothers remake, this one is obviously more interesting. Especially the lovely old lady, Alec Guinness also had a great performance, and oh, and Peter...

    Ealing black comedy classic. highly recommended!

    The appearance of the protagonist of the film, the landlady, is quite metaphorical. At the gate of the police station, she stopped to tease the baby in the stroller. As a result, the child suddenly burst into tears. This really startled her, and it also caused the mothers to look coldly. The...

    [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 Ladykillers quotes

  • [Professor Marcus enters the phone booth right as the phone rings. On the other end, Claude is in another phone booth outside the train station, watching Mrs. Wilberforce collect their trunk]

    Professor Marcus: Now, Major, before we start, let's press button A, shall we?... That's better... Major. Ma - Major! I want you to keep calm, speak quietly, and concentrate. Have you got that? Splendid. Mrs. W. should be coming into view just about...

    [hums]

    Professor Marcus: ... now... Now she's driving away.

    [She does, but comes back]

    Professor Marcus: . Major, Major, Major

    [throws phone book]

    Professor Marcus: RELAX! Calm down!

    Claude: Back to the station! She's come back to the station!

    Louis: [entering phone booth] What's wrong? Major!

    Professor Marcus: Louis! Louis!

    Louis: Major, tell me what's happening! Major!

    Professor Marcus: Louis! Louis, will you mind your own business, please!

    Harry: [Harry enters the phone booth too, and One-Round tries to squeeze in with them] Louis! Give us a listen, Louis! Come on, let me hear, will you? I want to hear!

    Harry: [to One-Round] Get out! Louis, I want to hear what he says!

    Louis: [to One-Round] You get out! Major, tell me what's happening!

    Louisa Wilberforce: [coming out of the train station with her umbrella] I'm always leaving it.

    Louis: [hearing Professor Marcus laughing] What's she doing?

    One-Round: What's going on here?

    Professor Marcus: It's all right, it's just that she went back to get her umbrella!

  • Louis: [as Mrs. Wilberforce has just discovered the money, with Louis pulling Harry aside] We must get her out of here.

    Harry: A snatch?

    Louis: Get her into the car.

    Louis: [as one of Mrs. Wilberforce's guests arrives] We'll have to take them both. We've got to get away!

    Harry: [as two more guests arrive] What do you think we should do? Charter a bus?
