‘Mama was the daughter of the seventh Duke of Chalfont, of Chalfont Castle. She eloped with her handsome singer, and exchanged the medieval splendours of Chalfont Castle for the modern conveniences of number 73 Balaclava Avenue, S.W.’

Director: Robert Hamer
Starring: Alec Guinness, Dennis Price, Valerie Hobson
Duration: 106 min

One of the finest British films ever made, this black comic masterpiece is a hilarious study in the gentle art of murder. Alec Guinness famously takes on eight different roles in the story of an ambitious young man (from humble beginnings in Clapham) who plots to secure a family fortune by creatively dispatching those ahead of him in the line of succession. One of the sharpest and subtlest comedies to come out of Ealing Studios, and arguably the greatest film it produced.
