Not Watchable
I'm a huge movie buff, love Alec Guinness, and enjoy offbeat comedies, but my kids and I simply couldn't get into one.

Underdogs Don't Always Win - But They Come Close
Directed by Charles Crichton. With Alec Guinness, Stanley Holloway - A film for a lifetime! Lavender Hill (yes, that's really a district in London) Mob is another soft non-violent, clean, thoughtful comedy out of England's post war film Renascence - with the added joy of a thoughtful performance by a very young Guinness - who had already made his mark on cinema in heavy weight films like Great Expectations and Oliver Twist and as a multi-part actor in Kind Hearts and Coronets - Soft, thoughtful and funny. Can't beat it! | | Reviewed on 2007-09-27
ANOTHER AMUSING SITUATIONS COMEDY
THIS ONE IS NOT REALLY MY FAORITE, BUT, THE STORYLINE AND THE RESULTS ARE VERY ENTERTAINING. | | Reviewed on 2007-09-22
One of Ealing's Finest
This film is one of the masterpieces of British Comedy. Alec Guinness and Stanley Holloway are an unlikely pair of "crooks". The inverted commas are there because neither the viewer nor the characters quite believe it themselves. The pair just want a bit of adventure and a taste of the high life. Guinness is brilliant as the timid bank clerk who despises the trust he is given because he knows he is seen by his superiors as too weak an individual to be a threat. That gives him the power to succeed in his daring plan. The catalyst is Stanley Holloway, a businessman with an eye for the main chance. However, he does not believe he can succeed until he meets Guinness, and Guinness does not believe that his little fantasy about robbing the bank can become a reality until he meets Holloway. When the pair meet up with a couple of real (but inept) crooks, the job is on! It's a wonderful cast and we like them so much that we hope they get away with it. It's a great story and highly entertaining. Everyone should have this in their DVD collection. | | Reviewed on 2007-09-16
The Lavender Hill Mob
This old classic movie is wonderful- the black and white photography just adds to it.
