- When Louis attacked with a knife in the film, he hit the attacker with a punch, making him unconscious. Although the sound effect is audible, but from the film you can see that the fist cannot be connected
- In the movie, at the boat berth, when Louis murdered someone for the first time, he was completely wearing clothes and swimming in the water. However, Louis did not bring a change of clothes or even a towel to dry. After he committed the murder, he rowed the boat downstream. But soon, his clothes were dry.
- In the film, when The Hangman opened the peephole of the cell, he moved the cover with his finger to the right. After staring at the back of the prisoner's neck for a few seconds, the scene returned to the door. When The Hangman closed the cover on the peephole, it went from left to right, not from right to left. This was realistic.
- Alec Guinness de Cuffe played eight roles in this film.

This is the British style. The lines are excellent, every word is precious, I want to read the script to learn English. alec guinness is indeed a man with a thousand faces. A counterattack of a black belly. Now it seems that the subject matter and form are not new, but the elegance of the protagonist from beginning to end is very rare.

#11th BJIFF No.8 What a wonderful film with a wonderful ending, such a twisted series of sarcastic black humor is really amazing. The gentleman, decency and neat appearance of the film, which is as British as the hero, makes all this more interesting, and it is an eye-opener to meet Yilin comedy for the first time. I met Mrs. Holland through the window in prison. The rhythm of the close-up shot was so well grasped that the entire theater was holding its breath for this scene. The audience laughed and laughed together. A wonderful moma night. 9.22
Kind Hearts and Coronets quotes
-
Sibella: Lionel will be very rich one day.
Louis Mazzini: I might be a duke one day.
Sibella: Pigs might fly.
Louis Mazzini: No, I might. Really I might. You see, Mama was the daughter...
Sibella: [yawning] Oh yes, I know. Well, when you are a duke, you just come and show me your... crown, or whatever it's called, and then I'll feel awfully silly won't I?
-
The Hangman: [about to lead Mazzini, who has become a Duke, to the gallows] Good morning, Your Grace. This won't take a moment. First, if Your Grace will pardon the liberty, I should like to read some verses composed by myself for use on these melancholy occasions. Your Grace permits?
Louis Mazzini: - With pleasure.
The Hangman: [Clears his throat] My friend, reflect -
[Corrects himself awkwardly]
The Hangman: Oh. Oh. Pardon. Your Grace, reflect: while yet of mortal breath some span, however short, is left to thee, / How brief the total span twixt birth and death, How long thy coming tenure of eternity. /
[Takes a deep breath and continues with ponderous emphasis on each syllable:]
The Hangman: Your Grace, prepare -
[to his great disappointment, a messenger rushes into the cell and announces that new evidence has been discovered which exonerates Mazzini, and the execution is cancelled]
