The Ladykillers

1h 31m Comedy, Crime 1955

AroView: Priceless Ealing black comedy in which bungling robbers Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers and others conspire to snuff out their landlord, an octogenarian widow who thinks they are an amateur string quintet.

When the gang set out to kill Mrs Wilberforce, they run into one problem after another, ultimately getting what they deserve. As Mrs Wilberforce, actor Katie Johnson is the unsung hero here, putting in an astonishing physical comedy performance at the age of 76.
