Review of The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) by Hannah B — 29 Oct 2009
Holland is a reserved man who will shorty retire from his job at the bank watching guarding the gold bullion; and one day he comes across Pendlebury who makes souvenirs and in the process comes across an ingenius plan to on his last journey steal the bullion and melt them into souvenirs of the Eiffel Tower to sneak out of the country. They carry out the job with the help of Lackery and Shorty.
It includes Alec Guinness, the genius of strange but witty and wonderful comedies; and also the upfront and forever changing Stanley Holloway, and who can forget the dodgey dealing Sid James playing a great role. it was great to see a mix of social classes all working together in the Lavender Hill Mob trying to get a fee extra bob.
Its made in the early 50's but has a brilliant script and plot and thrilling scenes to match up with some films of today; and with an unforgettable and intriging ending its sure to put a smile on anyones face.
