Kind Hearts and Coronets

[Otokichi]

Submitted for your approval, a 1949 Ealing Studios film that made Alec Guinness into an international film star! An unacknowledged branch of a stuffy, aristocratic family is determined to avenge his mother, who was "cut out of the family" in every way by murdering his way to a Dukedom. "Unsavoury!" you say? It's Britain's first Dark/Black comedy with flashes of wit to make you cheer for the dastardly bounder.;)
