Synopsis:
In this gangster comedy to end all gangster comedies, the inimitable Alec Guinness ( Kind Hearts and Coronets , The Lavender Hill Mob ) is Professor Marcus, ostensibly a musician and academic, who rents a London flat from a sweet old lady (BAFTA-winning Katie Johnson). He tells her that, from time to time, several other musicians will visit in order to rehear themselves. In truth, the professor can't play a note, nor can his visitors: he's a criminal mastermind, holding court over his gang of thieves, including the likes of punkish Harry (the first major film role for Peter Sellers, The Pink Panther ) , the homicidal Louis (Herbert Lom, A Shot in the Dark ), veteran criminal Claude (Cecil Parker, The Man in the White Suit ) and punch-drunk One-Round (Danny Green, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad ). The gang uses Professor Marcus's flat as headquarters as they conceive a daring 60,000-pound robbery in this killingly funny Ealing Studios classic directed by Alexander Mackendrick ( Sweet Smell of Success ) from a BAFTA-winning, Oscar-nominated script by William Rose ( The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming ). Co-Starring Jack Warner ( It Always Rains on Sunday , The Quatermass Xperiment ).
