An evening with "The Ladykillers"

Last night I enjoyed one of the classic comedies from Britain's EALING STUDIOS on DVD, the 1955 film, "THE LADYKILLERS."
A gang of criminals (played by ALEC GUINNESS, HERBERT LOM, PETER SELLERS, CECIL PARKER and DANNY GREEN) rent two rooms in the isolated London house of an elderly widow (KATIE JOHNSON) with three parrots.
The gang pretend to be an amateur string quartet, but instead spend their time planning a robbery involving a nearby train station.
I won't give away much more, except to say it all ends terribly for the gang and the musical instruments (or lack thereof) contribute to their undoing.
After watching Guinness in the original "Star Wars" last week, it's easy to forget how deft he was at comedy.
The Czech-born Lom and Sellers are outstanding, too. You should check out this film if you only know those two from the "Pink Panther" series.
