      thugs in lavender hills

      Holland is a loyal gold bar escort who has not made any mistakes for 20 years. His boss said that his greatest characteristic is integrity, and he has neither ambition nor leadership. Holland said that his weekly salary is only 8 shillings, which is not enough to satisfy his life. Like him, the people who are rushing to and rush to work every day dream of becoming rich, and at the same time know that it is impossible. Such a guy, on a whim, devised a perfect gold bullion heist plan...

      elin comedy classic

      The Chinese name is quite intimidating - "thug", hehe

      very funny crime comedy

      1. The evaluation is clean and pear fall, enter the theme block, do not drag.

      2. The overall regret is more interesting, and I am very happy to watch.

      3. It is a pity for the movie that seems to be about Yan Mi's plan to be changed due to unintelligible factors, which eventually led to the collapse of the movie. to my appetite.

      4. In the early years of Jane's films, there were generally no faults in the evaluation. Maybe it was because the movies had no special...

      A big robbery case that makes people laugh
              - watch the "Thugs of Lavender Hill"

      to watch the whole film, although the plot is exciting and fun, but Audrey Hepburn is like a flash in the pan, except for the first 30 seconds Less than the appearance of the scene, there will be no trace. Like a senior socialite in the metropolis, she smiled like a lady, greeted the hero, took the money, said "thank you" and turned away. If...

      The Thug of Lavender Hill--a classic comedy from Ealing

      Ealing comedies are always about geeky granny, theft, and all kinds of chases, and in this Hepburn debut, the fast-paced, intense plot keeps the audience entertained enough. No wonder Scorsese came out in the DVD extras to introduce the film. Alec Guinness and Stanley Holloway also performed well. The most shocking part of the film is undoubtedly the combination of the two people descending the spiral staircase from the top of the Eiffel Tower and the spiral picture, creating a feeling of...

      Telling a lie is filled with countless lies, not all of them are Ripley. The movies of that era were very comfortable and clean, but they still couldn't get rid of the big theme of being kind to...

      It's pretty exciting, there are laughs everywhere... Chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing the radio. . . Alec Guinness feels more and more spiritual the more he looks at it....

      British films of the 50's. Typical Ealing comedy. Alec Guinness starred. Ealing-style visions come when the gangsters disguise the gold nuggets as Eiffel Tower memorabilia. A fusion of realism and stylization: an almost documentary-like opening sequence that shows the daily life of the protagonist; scenes shot on location, parodies of film noir and even Ialin's own film, "Cold Lights" , a contrast (the low-key lighting and deep-focus composition are reminiscent of Hollywood gangster films of...

      A very interesting comedy with a simple plot and a very clever design. A comfortable and monotonous life can also allow gentle and decent people to come up with crooked ideas, and the criminal methods they come up with are extremely sophisticated and covert, which is probably something that many people have never thought of. The end of the film echoes the opening plot, and also completes another unexpected turn by the way, which is...
