Reviews for Kind Hearts and Coronets
There's a surprise ending that helps make this one of Ealing's darkest comedies.
A class can be taught comparing British and American manners using only Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Family Jewels.
It was Voltaire, probably, who said that if Alec Guinness did not exist it would be necessary for Ealing Studios to invent him.
Com o típico humor repleto de cinismo da Ealing, o filme se torna inesquecível graças também às atuações de Price e Guinness (fantástico como oito personagens diferentes).
Despite its murders and intrigues, its betrayals and blood feuds, Kind Hearts and Coronets has a dry and detached air.
