    Three and a half. The absurdity of the world upside down, coupled with dark humor. The conspiratorial villain keeps falling, trapped, unable to move, and utterly stupid. And the unintentional old woman seems to hold the staff of God's justice, with a cup of hot tea, three parrots, and trivial thoughts about life, she will play around with a few people. It's a good idea, but the bad guys are too weak, not stupid enough or twisty enough to keep the game off...

    The production level is similar to the sting, but it is a cute sketch, not so pretentious. One star for the old lady. Alex Guiness has taken on the role of gang leader in a stealing comedy since Lavender Hill Mob. It seems that the film industry was really making money at that...

    Too Brit too dark hahaha. The pink old lady Xu Xu knocked on the water pipe to shake the sky. I want rua parrot. Guinness is lovely. Hey, haven’t seen the Cohen version? Really steampunk max...

    @EnglishMasters Exhibition The British old woman should indeed be written into the film history as a classic type character, suitable for gatherings to watch and entertaining...

    11th BJIFF No.14@小西天. 4k remastered version. The first Yilin, still can't see this kind of stupid comedy. I slept the longest sleep in the theater recently, it must have been nearly ten minutes, but it was almost more interesting than my neighbors. How many daytime fireworks are enough to start with this...

    The last train scene is so...

    This old lady's lethality is comparable to that of AK47, and she can clear half of the opponent's blood tank just by nagging. That train steam is so...

    It's very similar to "A Fish Named Wanda", probably the inspiration for that movie came from here! British comedies are probably the same...

    Not bad, light comedy, the industrial city side of London is also quite retro. Exhaust gas filled, cramped classical civilian life. The stupid thieves let the ignorant old woman pick up the leaks. If the old woman plays Miss Marple, it should also be a good choice. Although she plays a blind cat who bumps into a dead mouse, she still subconsciously feels that she will be very shrewd in...

    The film allows you to experience a bit of British humour. It's subtle but meaningful. Many scenes are great and impressive. The performances of several actors are amazing, especially the old lady's actor, who has a lot of talent. . The story is also very classic, the scene is worth pondering, and the role of the old lady is also worth...

The Ladykillers quotes

  • One-Round: I said nobody was to do her!

    Louisa Wilberforce: [Begins attacking Louis, who beats him continuously over the head with a blackjack. Mrs. Wilberforce comes out of the next room] Mr. Harvey!

    One-Round: I said - I said nobody was to do Mrs. Lopsided!

    Louisa Wilberforce: Stop that!

    [Louis hits One-Round one last time with the blackjack]

    Louisa Wilberforce: What *are* you doing?

    Louisa Wilberforce: [adjusting her hat] And who is "Mrs. Lopsided," may I ask? Where is Mr. Robinson?

    One-Round: He's, uh, he's outside.

    Louisa Wilberforce: Somebody took the key. The cello case is gone!

    One-Round: It's, uh, out there too.

    Louisa Wilberforce: Well... bring it in.

    Louisa Wilberforce: [as One-Round heads outside] I fell asleep. Somebody took the key out of my pocket. I'm *very* angry!

    Professor Marcus: As you have every right to be. It's disgraceful, Mrs. Wilberforce, shameful! Mr. Robinson will answer for it.

    Louisa Wilberforce: [as One-Round brings in the cello case] I'll take that, thank you. Professor Marcus, this is another black mark against you. I shall certainly tell the police.

    Professor Marcus: [as Mrs. Wilberforce goes back into the next room and shuts the door behind her] What happened?

    One-Round: I thought they'd, uh, done 'er in. I thought, uh, I thought Harry done 'er.

    Professor Marcus: So?

    One-Round: So all right, I made a mistake!

    Professor Marcus: [putting his face in his hand] Put him in the barrow...

  • [Harry and Marcus are distracting Mrs. Wilberforce while Louis deals with the Major on the roof]

    Louisa Wilberforce: It won't do any harm to tell you now that Major Courtney has gone to the police. They'll be here shortly.

    [there is a loud crash from outside]

    Louisa Wilberforce: Oh! Whatever is that?

    Harry: I expect something fell off the roof, mum.

    Louisa Wilberforce: The roof?

    Harry: Probably a... chimney-pot.

    Louisa Wilberforce: A chimney-pot?

    Professor Marcus: See who it is, Harry

    [pushes Harry out the door]
