Kind Hearts and Coronets
PLEASE! Do not be put off by the fact this is a black and white film!
Kind Hearts and Coronets was released from Ealing Studios in 1949.
This is a comical story following a man called Louis Mazzini, who murders people in his family tree in order to inherit the fortune he deserves.
Alex Guinness (starwars) played all 8 victims of Mazzini and portrayed each character brilliantly, especially the character, Lady Agatha ;) Each murder was so silly and some unexpected! Some deaths include; poison, a fall down the waterfall and an arrow bursting a hotair balloon...
A huge twist at the end of the film will leave the audience coming up with their own resolution to the film. (i won't spoil the twist. It's hard to explain, it's something you have to see for yourself)
For the time period it was made in, it is really well done!
I deffo recommend this film! Thank you to my friend for introducing it to me! It really cracked me up :')
If you are in for a laugh and really into the narrative of films, you should deffo watch this. Remember, don't be put off by the film being in black and white!

(also in the crowd scene at the end, apparently my friend knows someone who was in the crowd scene while it was being filmed... hmmm...)
