    A few details in "The Old Woman Killer"

    This black and humorous old movie has a small format, with single characters, events, and locations, but it achieves a back-and-forth that many movies today cannot do, forming an exquisite "closed loop".        1. At the beginning of the film, a panoramic shot of the environment is given first. At...

    Dr. Thief - An Old Woman's Guide to Murdering

    This strong British style has successfully made a black crime film involving robbery and murder very humorous. The Coen brothers remade it in 2004. The classic of the original film, no one can compare to the United Kingdom in terms of serious humor. The aristocratic fan in your bones always asks:...

    Unstoppable old lady

    This is an old British movie. Only the UK can make a gentleman thief. Five strong and ruthless thieves can't deal with a helpless old lady. It's a funny movie. why? That is really a nosy and obstructive old woman. She can easily solve the problem with one knife and one shot, and get a considerable...

    classic in black humor

    British comedy can be so good

    The first is to like the tones of this old-fashioned film, warm, peaceful, and bright.

    The soundtrack directly expresses the character's emotions, such as the old lady's hesitation when she opened the door to the thief for the first time. This made the old man directly...

    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...

    Under the prestige, it is actually difficult to match

    This film was heavily recommended by a friend, and said it was far better than the adaptation of the Coen brothers. The notorious "borrowing" method of American movies has indeed turned many classics into less classics. At least some of the films I've seen are less than satisfactory, although some...

    Alec Guinness

    The original version of The Old Woman Killer is said to be a classic of British comedy, but the director is actually American. But the director is not important, because the real bullock is Alec Guinness. Alec Guinness is a character worthy of gossip. It is rumored that he is the illegitimate son...

    [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...
