Murder He Wrote: Sir Alec Guinness Write-Off

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2000
Review: Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood.

- Lord Tennyson

Revenge is a dish the people of taste prefer to eat cold.

- Italian Proverb

Nobody commits murder just for the experience...

Alec Guinness, the Eight-Faced Man

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2000
Review: Before there was Eddie Murphy, there was Alec Guinness. Before the Klumps, the d?Ascoynes.

Decades before Murphy made his mark playing a simultaneous multitude of characters in the Nutty Professor movies (and flicks like Life and Coming to...

Coronets Tuned a Bit Flat for Me

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: One of the most popular Ealing comedies, but less effective for me than the others I've reviewed.
Review: This film offers another dose of Ealing comedy, a bit darker than other Ealing offerings, as well as eight – count em! – eight doses of the great Alec Guinness.

Historical Background: In the late forties and early fifties, Ealing Studios...

blue blood

Date of Review:  Sep 15, 2000
Review: Louis Mazzini is an impoverished, disgraced draper's assistant, his father a dead Italian singer, his mother the outcast of the aristocratic d'Ascoyne family. When the d'Ascoynes refuse to allow his mother's burial in their family vault, Louis...

Murder, All In the Family (Guinness Write off Tribute)

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2000
Review: Recently, the world lost a most brilliant actor. Unfortunately, most Americans remember him solely for his portrayal of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars series, a role he ultimately came to despise. I put together this write off in the hopes of...

Bittersweet Revenge

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: A classy classic with charm and style.
Review: I was born three years after this film was released in 1949. As a child in the fifties and sixties I remember it was always years before films were shown on TV. After all not everyone had access to a television set. We acquired our first set in 1959...

SEE THIS MOVIE--NOW!!!!

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: See it! Brilliant, witty, a great film. A classic.
Review: This is the best British comedy--ever! It is my all-time favorite movie. This is a very dark comedy that will actually make you sympathize with a murderer. Dennis Price plays a man who should be a Duke (it's in his lineage) but the D'ascoygnes just...

Eight Little Indians

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2000
Review: I've heard that Hollywood are planning to remake this with Eddie Murphy, but I have a feeling that it was a joke. If it isn't, I wouldn't like to see the results: a gentle British comedy released in 1949 won't respond well to an American re-making...

Kind Hearts and Coronets

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2000
Review: Things I value about this movie:

(a) it seems to me to be perfectly-formed. The plot is ridiculously complicated, and the first act (up to the first murder)is necessary to set all the wheels in motion - AND to set up black-comic the tone...

See Alec Guinness before he was Obi Wan!

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2000
Review: Patty Duke has nothing on Alec Guinness, who played EIGHT distinct and prominent roles in this 1949 film.

In short, this is a farce which revolves around English nobility, a daughter cut off for marrying beneath her, and a young man who...
