Review of Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) by Jenna I — 15 Apr 2010
Ingenious and clever satire of materialistic abomination! The talent that David Lean first saw in Alec Guinness is exploited epically by Robert Hamer thanks to the aid of the Earling Studios, a brilliant decision that definitely ensured the film a legendary status of black humor rarely seen in the decade. Vengeance is a dish best served cold all right... A charming serial killer disguised with the mask of casanova's elegance and the suit of bloody revenge is a concept I would approve even under the influence of narcotics. These are the masterpieces the Brittish should feel proud of.
99/100.
