Description
Release Date: 16 October 2006
The Ladykillers:
With iconic performances from Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom, The Ladykillers is quintessential Ealing. Director Alexander Mackendrick's film centres on a criminal gang planning their next job, who find themselves boarding with an innocent old lady who thinks they are musicians. When the gang set out to kill Mrs Wilberforce, they run into one problem after another, and they get what they deserve. Mackendrick's last film as director before his move to Hollywood, The Ladykillers remains one of the best British comedies ever made.
The Man In The White Suit:
Sidney Stratton (Alec Guinness), a humble inventor, develops a fabric, which never gets dirty or wears out. This would seem to be a boon for mankind, but the established garment manufacturers don't see it that way; they try to suppress it. Nevertheless, Sidney is determined to put his invention on the market, forcing the clothing factory bigwigs to resort to more desperate measures.
The Magnet:
Charles Frend's film stars a young James Fox as a small boy who cons another boy out of his toy magnet, and is then wracked with guilt when he wrongly believes this has led to the other boy's death. A wonderfully evocative portrait of the trials and tribulations of youth in post-War Liverpool.
Scott Of The Antarctic:
John Mills stars as Captain Robert Scott in this film of the explorer's ill-fated expedition to be the first man to discover the South Pole. Directed by Charles Frend who went on to direct The Magnet, the film was nominated for both the Golden Lion in Venice and the BAFTA for Best British Film.
