Content:
Director Robert Hamer's fiendishly funny Kind Hearts and Coronets stands as one of Ealing Studios' greatest triumphs, and one of the most wickedly black comedies ever made. Dennis Price is sublime as an embittered young commoner determined to avenge his mother̷s unjust disinheritance by ascending to her family's dukedom. Unfortunately, eight relatives̶all played by the incomparable Alec Guinness̶must be eliminated before he can do so. (Covertext)
