Reviews for Kind Hearts and Coronets
Top CriticThere's a surprise ending that helps make this one of Ealing's darkest comedies.

It was Voltaire, probably, who said that if Alec Guinness did not exist it would be necessary for Ealing Studios to invent him.

Easily the most beloved and durable film from the Ealing stable.

A droll and delicious black comedy, one of the Ealing Studios' regal postwar hits.

Despite its murders and intrigues, its betrayals and blood feuds, Kind Hearts and Coronets has a dry and detached air.
