Some websites describe the film as a black comedy, but the temperament shown in the film is Cartoon. This is not to say that the film is naive, but its method avoids the representation of death as much as possible, and exaggerates certain factors in the human body. Furthermore, these deaths are allegorical, and the steam is like a ghost from the underworld. It was because I couldn't see these deaths that I chewed them over and over, and that moment was the moment of...

The black absurd comedy, Alec Guinness's fake teeth is the biggest highlight, the ending is sloppy, and the screenwriter may not know how to write a reasonable ending explanation. Peter Sellers was still a rookie at the time, with not many roles, and he was puffy like a...

080913 Loved the ending, a bunch of stupid thieves were thrown on the train one by one and the old lady got all the money. Very immoral, very unreliable, but very hateful. On the contrary, I was disappointed in the front. I didn't see the battle of wits and courage between these thieves and the old woman, and I didn't see the coincidence of the mechanism. Even the jokes were a little painless.

8. In the original version of the Coen Brothers remake, Alec Guinness was too wretched, and Hanks still had a gap compared to it, Sellers could not have imagined that he was so fat at the time. The little old woman is also better than the big black woman in Cohen's...

The old version of "The Damned Killer," the classic crime comedy from Ealing, had a less-than-successful remake by the Coen brothers. This was director Alexander McKendrick's last film in the UK, before he came to Hollywood to shoot "The Taste of Success." The film was selected in Time Out magazine's "100 Best British Movies of All Time" and is worth watching. Alec Guinness is really...

[Film Review] The Ladykillers (1955)
Technically, how difficult can it be for 5 hardened criminals (posed as a string quintet with the whole combo of its instruments) to liquidate a petite old lady like Mrs. Wiberforce (Johnson), who lives alone in her lopsided manse in the vicinity of London's Kings Cross railway station, a perfect...

Under the prestige, it is actually difficult to match
This film was heavily recommended by a friend, and said it was far better than the adaptation of the Coen brothers. The notorious "borrowing" method of American movies has indeed turned many classics into less classics. At least some of the films I've seen are less than satisfactory, although some...

Louisa Wilberforce: Simply try for one hour to behave like gentlemen.

[last lines]
The Sergeant: [chasing Mrs. Wilberforce as she is leaving the police station] Mrs. Wilberforce, wait! Just a moment!
The Sergeant: [holding out Mrs. Wilberforce's umbrella toward her] You forgot it, mum.
Louisa Wilberforce: [reaching for the umbrella, then changing her mind] Oh. Oh, no I don't think I want it. I never liked it. Now I can buy a dozen new ones. Oh, uh, good morning, Sergeant.
Louisa Wilberforce: [as she heads home, she stops in front of a starving artist looking at his artwork] Oh! They're very good, very good.
Starving Artist: Turned out nice, huh?
Louisa Wilberforce: [handing him a bank note] Yes, it-it has!
Starving Artist: [startled by the generous amount of money] Oh! Hey, hey! Hey, look! Here, lady! Look!
[Mrs. Wilberforce continues happily to make her way home]
