I was so pleased to hear Terrence Davies pick Kind Hearts and Coronets as absolutely magnificent as the Ladykillers was. Kind Hearts was special and definitely Dennis Price’s finest film.
I know precisely what he means about remembering certain black and white movies as having been in color. I often remember them in color. That was a very good choice to intersperse 'Distant Voices / Still Lives' excerpts throughout this. Only wish he could have talked about more than two. 'The Man in the White Suit' and 'Whiskey Galore' are every bit as worthy.
I love British movies from this era.. The Ladykillers is a great movie. Miles was brilliant in The Titfield Thunderbolt. These character actors were the cement of all great movies... my favourite bit part player was Sam Kydd... he appeared in more movies than any other British actor.
My Era Ealing comedies were the best in the late forties and fifties The Ladykillers and Kind Hearts and Coronets such a beautiful directed by Robert Hamer, and as for the script just wonderful, I was quite young when the films came out 7 and 13 respectively Don't make or cant make films like this today

2 wonderful films, always a joy to watch.
In case you missed it the journalist from Titbits Magazine in the ending clip is none other than Arthur Lowe
Nice touch having Katie Johnson's name alongside Guiness's for the Ladykillers , like that a lot.

You know there are two endings, one for the American audience who needed the point hammered home.
